Samenvatting

In this article first the perspectives of children in early modern Europe's educational space will be explored by looking to children through the eyes of artists and by reading the warning against child maltreatment in an influential educational tractate, written by the famous humanist Erasmus. Then we will turn to the nineteenth century paradox: on the one hand a longing after more educational discipline in the school and in residential institutions, and on the other hand more attention for the child's perspective by pedagogues such as Friedrich Fröbel and Ellen Key. Finally it will be asked to which extent warnings by Erasmus and other humanists were taken seriously five hundred years later by looking at recent research on post Second World War child maltreatment and abuse in out-of-home child care.
