Maternity 1893

"Maternity," painted in 1893 by Charles Maurin, is a Symbolist depiction of motherhood. The artwork portrays a group of women and children in a serene landscape setting. The central figure, a mother cradling an infant, is bathed in a golden light, symbolizing the sacredness of motherhood. The other figures, some holding infants and some gazing with tenderness, contribute to the overall theme of maternal love and nurturing. The painting's harmonious composition and soft, ethereal colors further emphasize the beauty and significance of motherhood.
