The Barber Instituteさんのイラストまとめ

Artist Eugène Delacroix was born #otd in 1798.

This lithograph from our collection captures the beauty and power of the wild horse.

Delacroix was inspired by the many horses painted by George Stubbs - who inspires you to get creative? 🐴

Happy birthday to #PierrePuvisdeChavannes! Born in 1824, he was well known in France for his mural painting, and did love a cheeky bit of symbolism. His penchant for drama is evident in this portrait, 'The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist.' It's always startled our visitors!

'Each of us has a different relationship with our own mother, and so every artistic representation of a mum is unique.'

At the time of the drawing, Kollwitz's son was alive but she was haunted by the fear of losing him. He died in WWI.

Here the mother's features are melted and made primal by the powerful combination of grief and maternal instinct.

Dahl's 'A Mother and Child By The Sea' is a romantic depiction of #MumsInArt

Here the focus is on the mum, a pillar of strength, as the dad fades away from life on shore. Today this portrait could be read as a reflection of the stoicism of single mums.
