Fatherhood is a fundamental aspect of human existence and a central theme in the arts. Yet, depictions of fathers in art have been overshadowed by those of mothers and children. This book explores representations of fathers in visual culture and literature throughout history, from ancient to contemporary times and around the world. It includes a broad definition of fathers, which also covers father figures and metaphorical "fathers." The portrayal of fathers in art, literature and film has evolved over time, reflecting the changing societal attitudes towards fatherhood. From the early depictions of father figures as providers and protectors, to the more recent portrayals of fathers as involved and nurturing parents, art has explored the complexities and challenges of being a father, while also showcasing the joys and rewards that come with the role. This will be the definitive look at how fathers have been portrayed in the arts and how that reflects cultural and societal views on fatherhood through history. Through this we will draw out lessons on "how to be a good father" and apply it to parenting today. It is the ideal gift for new fathers, on Father's Day or following the birth of a first child
