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.'
Using these images, find out what Helen from our Collections Team has to say about #MumsinArt at the Barber Institute:

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.
