Mother and child is a timeless art theme.
"The image of mother and child in paintings is something that can be found all around the world, in every culture and religion. Christian paintings use the mother and child particularly frequently to portray the Virgin Mary, and had to communicate the motherly nature and virginal purity of her through their paintings. It was around the Renaissance era that depictions of the Virgin Mary began to be more flattering and concentrated on her beauty and femininity"
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there.
