A Mother and her Son 1907 - 1914

"A Mother and her Son" is a marble sculpture by Gustav Vigeland, created between 1907 and 1914. The sculpture portrays a mother cradling her son in a protective embrace, highlighting the powerful bond between parent and child. The life-size figures are carved with meticulous detail, capturing the tenderness and intimacy of the moment. This work is a prime example of Vigeland's exploration of the human form and his ability to convey complex emotions through his sculptures. Currently on display at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, "A Mother and her Son" continues to resonate with audiences for its universal theme of maternal love and the enduring power of family.
