What came after the complex purposefulness of Romanticism’s understanding of childhood reminds me of a scene in Peter Sellers’s early 1970s satire The Magic Christian, based on a Terry Southern novel of the same name. A retired industrialist named Guy Grand (Sellers) buys a “school of Rembrandt” painting from a snooty art dealer (played by a young and already pitch-perfect John Cleese). Purchase made, Grand informs the dealer that he only wants the nose and proceeds to cut it out with a pair of scissors. So it is with the eyes of the Runge children; they are taken from their context, only to become the soulless void of Victorian Romantic kitsch.
