Excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Sunday Schools and Religious Education: Giving a World-Wide View of the History and Progress of the Sunday School and the Development of Religious Education; Complete in Three Royal Octavo Volumes Last but not least from the standpoint of religious education, must be mentioned the work of Hofmann, for there are no pictures setting forth the life of Jesus that appeal more to children. Hofmann believes what he paints, has been one reason given for this; the Simplicity and beauty of his ideals may be another. Other artists whose pictures mean much to little children, such as Plockhorst, Mueller, Millet, etc., we can but mention, and refer to their works in the lists named below.
