Depictions of motherhood are ever present in Western art, yet rarely questioned or challenged. We may shy away from a subject that could be seen as sentimental or overly associated with idealistic constructs of femininity, nurture, and care. This book examines motherhood as seen through the eyes of artists.

Pourquoi certaines femmes désirent-elles depuis toujours un enfant ? Pourquoi d’autres deviennent-elles mères par surprise, en croyant ne pas le vouloir ? Pourquoi d’autres encore restent-elles infertiles ? À quoi rêvent les futures mères pendant les neuf mois de la grossesse ? À l’enfant qui va naître ? À l’enfant qu’elles ont été ? Comment expliquer que le jour de la naissance corresponde souvent avec la date anniversaire d’un proche ? Et que l’expérience de l’accouchement, à peine terminée, soit aussitôt oubliée ? De quel rêve maternel, singulier pour chacune, le nouveau-né âgé de quelques heures est-il déjà le dépositaire ? Quelle mémoire familiale se poursuivra à travers lui ? Un voyage au pays des mères qui montre combien la création d’un enfant demeure, en dépit de tous les progrès scientifiques, une aventure hors norme, tissée dans l’étoffe de la vie de chaque femme.

"La maternidad, situada en un cruce de caminos disciplinar, se ha convertido en un tema historiográfico por derecho propio y ha dejado de leerse como una circunstancia exclusivamente biológica para verse también como un hecho social clave en la construcción de la identidad histórica de las reinas de España. Este libro, pues, analiza el «ritual del nacimiento» de príncipes e infantes en la corte española entre los siglos XVI y XVII, así como el papel que reinas, damas y comadres desempeñaron en dicho sistema cultural, conformado por una serie de ritos previos y posteriores al alumbramiento. De Carlos reconstruye en estas páginas de manera original y muy documentada la cultura de los nacimientos de los Austrias españoles y el concepto de autoridad femenina a través de diversas fuentes, pues no se centra exclusivamente en los tratados morales y científicos, sino que toma como punto de partida las representaciones visuales relacionadas con los embarazos y partos regios, que hasta ahora se habían considerado con frecuencia transcripciones casi literales de la realidad. Faltaba en el ámbito hispano un estudio que combinase las dimensiones biológica, simbólica y social de este fenómeno, de modo que el presente volumen viene a llenar un vacío en nuestra historiografía y supone un paso importante para reconstruir el fenómeno de la maternidad con todas sus derivadas en la corte española de los Austrias." --

"In the nineteenth century France became fixated on infant sleep. Pictures of sleeping babies proliferated in paintings, posters, and advertisements for cradles and toys. Childcare manuals and medical writings insisted on the importance of sleep as a measure of a child’s future health and vigour. Infant sleep was transformed from an unremarkable event to a precarious stage of life that demanded monitoring, support, and, above all, the constant presence and attention of mothers. Hush Little Baby uncovers the cultural, medical, and economic forces that came to shape Western ideas about infants’ sleeping patterns, rituals, and settings. By the mid-nineteenth century doctors were advising that infant sleep should be carefully controlled by caregivers according to medical guidelines, and that to do otherwise would risk compromising a child’s development. A sleeping baby was seen as the sign of a good mother--an idea that was reinforced through countless pictures of mothers watching vigilantly over their sleeping children, even as the reality of postpartum depression was known to doctors. The medical advice literature also helped to create a commercial infant industry, encouraging the production of clothing, bedding, cradles, and accessories designed to foster sleep, and providing new ways for families to demonstrate social status. In Hush Little Baby Gal Ventura shows how these images and ideas about babies’ sleep created many of the standards and expectations that keep parents awake today."--

"Des catacombes de Priscilla à Rome aux photographes Piere et Gilles en passant par les icônes byzantines, les reliquaires médiévaux et les artistes de la Renaissance, la représentation de la Vierge à l'Enfant est l'un des sujets les plus traités dans l'art occidental. Pourquoi tant d'images? Pourquoi tant de visages prêtés à celui de la Vierge? Et qu'est-ce qui nous émeut en elle, nous touche au plus profond de nous-mêmes? Au travers des images de dévotion publique et privée, ce sont celles, idéales, de l'amour maternel, inconditionnel, divin, l'amour agape, qui parle à notre désir d'être aimé infiniment, absolument. La permanence et la richesse à travers les siècles, de ces figures la Vierge à l'Enfant, leur permettent de retracer une histoire de l'art, des idées et de la pensée chrétienne. L'auteur décrypte l'archétype et la prodigieuse floraison des symboles qui les accompagne, tout en évoquant la dialectique du sacré et du profane, du visible et de l'invisible. Au fil des pages, les créations reproduites - qu'il s'agisse de chefs-d'oeuvre ou de scènes de genre méconnues - évoquent la diversité de traitement qu'a pu susciter cette figure maternelle intemporelle"--Dust jacket flap.

Quatrième de couverture : "Avoir une descendance a été une — sinon la première — des pré- occupations de nos ancêtres et ils l'ont exprimée à travers des représentations, au départ avec une intention votive, qui sont devenues de véritables objets d'art et d'archéologie. Le Musée de la Médecine de Bruxelles sauvegarde, étudie et expose un patrimoine original de plus de 150 objets d'art sur le thème de la fécondité et de la maternité relevant de plusieurs cultures, de la Haute Antiquité à nos jours. Les rassembler, les restituer dans le temps et dans l'espace, les étudier par une équipe multidisciplinaire associant médecins et historiens, les mettre en rapport avec la pratique médicale actuelle est l'objet de ce livre. L'accent a été mis sur l'image pour d'emblée accrocher le lecteur."

What can medieval sculptural representations of women tell us about medieval women's experiences of motherhood? Presumably the work of male sculptors, working for clerical patrons, these sculptures are unlikely to have been shaped by women's maternal experiences during their production. Once produced, however, their beholders would have included women who were mothers and potential mothers, thus opening a space between the sculptures' intended meanings and other meanings liable to be produced by these women as they brought their own interests and concerns to these works of art. Building on theories of reception and response, this book focuses on interactions between women as beholders and a range of sculptures made in France in the twelfth through sixteenth centuries, aiming to provide insight into women's experiences of motherhood; particular sculptures considered include the Annunciation and Visitation from Reims cathedral, the femme-aux-serpents from Moissac, the transi of Jeanne de Bourbon-Vendome, the Eve from Autun, and a number of French Gothic Virgin and Child sculptures. Marian Bleeke is Associate Professor of Art History and Chair of the Department of Art and Design at Cleveland State University.

"This book brings images of holy motherhood and childbearing into the centre of an art-historical enquiry. By focusing on images of St Anne and the Holy Kinship in Books of Hours made for aristocratic women in relation to the dynastic importance of heirs, it reassesses the role of the female viewer as an active agent in the interpretation of pictures and popular devotional rites." "Holy Motherhood combines an innovative methodology that draws on art-historical and contemporary gender studies with empirical evidence from fifteenth-century manuscripts, to show how images worked, not only to script and maintain gender and social roles within patriarchal society, but also to offer viewers ways of managing those roles." "The book will appeal to advanced students, academics and researchers of Art History, Illuminated Manuscripts, Medieval History and Gender Studies."--Jacket
