Portraits that famous painters made of their mothers
Over the centuries many artists have portrayed their mothers in their pictures. The styles are as varied as the artists themselves - from Durer’s early 16th Century line drawing, through to Léger's cubist image and David Hockney’s photo montage. Art Historian Juliet Heslewood has brought many of the portraits together in a book and talks to Jane about the insight they give us into the relationship between the sitters and their artist children.
