Abstract
The article considers the children's portrait in Russian painting of the first third of the XIX century on the example of the works of O.A. Kiprensky, K.P. Bryullov, V.G. Varnek, V.A. Tropinin, A.G. Venetsianov and other portraitists of that time. The author identifies the most common “types” or variants of children's images in portraits, namely: children-angels, “noble savages”, children-heroes and “exemplary children”. The emergence of these “formulas of representation” is associated with the development of the so-called romantic concept of childhood, which assumes, in comparison with the previous era of “little adults”, a special attitude to the children's world as a lost ideal, a “Golden age” and programs for the future. The publication traces how the development of the genre and its imagery was affected by the actualization of romanticism trends in the visual arts of that time.
