There\u2019s an old saying that goes, \u201cIf it\u2019s not one thing, it\u2019s your mother.\u201d Poking fun at the sometimes overbearing nature of mother figures, the maxim highlights a universal truth: that life-giving often means succumbing to a future fraught with complicated emotions and worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while mothers bear this responsibility and burden with a great deal of courage, if they\u2019re especially lucky, they may be paid back with love, affection, and gifts when their offspring grow up\u2014or, better yet, be portrayed in a work of art for all the world to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just ahead of Mother\u2019s Day, we\u2019ve rounded up eight famous artworks that beautifully depict the bond between mother and child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
