\"Pablo<\/a>overstockArt.com, the leader in handmade oil painting art reproductions, released today its Mother\u2019s Day Top 10 list. This year\u2019s list names the top 10 oil paintings featuring images of motherhood.<\/p>\n

Topping the chart is Claude Monet\u2019s masterpiece Poppy Field in Argenteuil. Oil paintings by master artists Mary Cassatt, Gustav Klimt, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir also made the list.<\/p>\n

“Many master artists depicted images of motherhood in their oil paintings,” said Stacy Sasson, co-founder of overstockArt.com. “No other art form better exemplifies the tender, timeless bond between a mother and a child.”<\/p>\n

The oil paintings that made the 2010 Mother\u2019s Day Top 10 list are: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Poppy Field in Argenteuil, Claude Monet \u2013 In this colorful oil painting, originally created in 1873, Claude Monet painted his wife and son strolling together among the poppies.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Le tre eta della donna (Mother and Child), Gustav Klimt \u2013 Mother and Child is part of Klimt\u2019s famous oil painting Three Ages of Woman. The painting depicts an image of a mother cradling her young son. The original was created in 1905, three years after the death of Klimt\u2019s baby son, Otto.<\/li>\n
  3. Breakfast in Bed 1897, Mary Cassatt \u2013 The subject of mothers and children recurred in many of Cassatt\u2019s works. In this piece, a child\u2019s attention wanders as she is held in her mother’s loving embrace.<\/li>\n
  4. First Steps, Vincent van Gogh \u2013 From late 1889 to 1890, while van Gogh was a voluntary patient at the asylum in Saint-R\u00e9my, he painted twenty-one copies of Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Millet\u2019s works. In January 1890, van Gogh transferred a photograph of Millet\u2019s First Steps to canvas.<\/li>\n
  5. Maternity, Pablo Picasso \u2013 This stunning oil painting, originally created in 1905, depicts the intimate bond of mother and child.<\/li>\n
  6. Madame Monet and her Son, Claude Monet \u2013 This masterpiece, originally painted in 1875, depicts Monet\u2019s first wife Claude and their eldest son, Jean.<\/li>\n
  7. Summertime, Mary Cassatt \u2013 Although never a mother herself, Cassatt principally painted children and scenes of motherhood. Summertime illustrates a mother and daughter enjoying a leisurely summer day boating. The original masterpiece was created in 1894.<\/li>\n
  8. Woman with a Parasol and Small Child on a Sunlit Hillside, Pierre-Auguste Renoir \u2013 Originally painted in 1874, this masterpiece depicts a mother relaxing in the grass while her young child wanders off in behind her in the tall grass.<\/li>\n
  9. Hope II, Gustav Klimt \u2013 Although images of women and children are frequent in the history of art, depictions of pregnancy are rare. In Hope II a woman lowers her head toward her swelling belly. The original masterpiece was created in 1907-08.<\/li>\n
  10. Pieta, Vincent van Gogh \u2013 Originally created in 1889 while van Gogh was staying at the asylum in Saint-R\u00e9my, Pieta is the agonizing depiction of Mary in sorrow over her dead son.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Mother\u2019s Day Top 10 List was composed by pulling overstockArt.com sales data from April 2009 to March 2010. “Mother\u2019s Day is our third busiest selling period of the year,” said Sasson. “People love giving their moms the gift of art for Mother\u2019s Day \u2013 it is a wonderful expression of love that will last a lifetime.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
