Painting motherhood

Why motherhood runs through the entire history of painting

The relationship between mother and child brings together the body, the gaze, care and transmission. It allows painters to articulate intimacy, religious symbol and social reality.

A great maternity painting never shows just two figures: it makes visible a relationship, a gesture of care and a story of transmission.

The ranking balances Madonnas, bath scenes, breastfeeding, cradles, family portraits and modern maternity wards to tell a complete story of the theme.

Do the 100 images open the Alpha store?

Yes. They use 100 existing and separate Alpha Reproduction cards, without creating duplicates.

How were the images controlled?

Each title, image, artist and link have been reconciled in the catalog before publication.

Have the museums validated this classification?

No. This is an independent editorial selection based on the notoriety and history of painting.
