The mythology and veneration of divine motherhood was lyrically refined by the great Venetian Renaissance painter. ‘Undoubtedly one of the greatest masters of painting’ writes Rona Goffen. Davis employs French philosopher Julia Kristeva’s psychoanalytic reading of Bellini as a departure point for a lucid exploration of the themes of motherhood, gender, form, colour, pain, emotion and sacrality.
