Mother's Day Special - Motherhood in Art

The National Gallery is full of images of motherhood, from Virgin and Child altarpieces, through commissioned portraits, to wry social commentaries. Often tender, sometimes formal, occasionally judgemental, they tell us a great deal of the mother and child relationship through the eyes of societies through the ages.

Bring your Mum, or your child to celebrate the day! (Children under 12 come free!)
