Children's Books From unsophisticated plain alphabet books to glossily illustrated books for boys and girls, children’s books have undergone an extensive development from their first appearance to today. While at the beginning, religious reading matter dominated children’s books, pedagogical ideas on developing the mind steadily acquired prominence. Children’s reading activities gradually lost their compulsory character and became an entertaining pursuit. Authors attempted to merge moral and didactic instructions with entertaining content, and often adults enjoyed the tales just as much as the children. Over time, some works belonging to adult literature became reading matter for children, and many chapbooks were used as children’s books as well. Previously, orally communicated fairy tales had the strongest impact on children’s books.

Louvre Museum's Visitor Trails Here, Ingres transposed the antique theme of the female nude to the Near East, a place he had traveled to only in his dreams and the pretext for the sensual image of a naked woman in a harem—hence the title, The Large Odalisque—set against an exotic background. Until the end of his life, Ingres continued to paint exotic scenes and female nudes, one of his favorite subjects—as in The Turkish Bath—drawing on influences as diverse as Raphael, the Mannerists, and Persian miniatures. Whereas Ingres, like his master David, was a classical artist in terms of technique and his interest in antiquity, which he showed in other works, he distanced himself from this trend by giving priority to draftsmanship, pure lines, and sensual curves, distorting anatomical reality if necessary. This odalisque has three vertebrae too many. Likewise, her right breast and left leg are joined to the rest of the body in a curious fashion. How to get to the exit: This is the end of our trail.
