Motherhood in art
To explore the representation of motherhood, we choose some of our favourite Madonna with children from the early Renaissance. And if some of them are delicate, some others are funnier. If you prefer impressionism, you will love Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt's portraits of moms!
Come explore this Mannerist Masterpiece : Madonna with the Long Neck.
