  Fig. 1. (A) Madonna and Child, c. 1310/1315 painted by Giotto di Bondone, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (B) The Small Cowper Madonna, c. 1505 painted by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Approximately six centuries ago, European painters depicted children as miniature adults (A); however, during the Renaissance period, children were portrayed with large heads, long torsos, and short limbs (B).
