  • Whistler’s Mother by James McNeill Whistler is one of the most iconic paintings of all time. It is a portrait of the artist’s mother, Anna McNeill Whistler, sitting in a chair in a dark room, looking at the viewer with a calm and dignified expression. The painting is a masterpiece of composition, colour, and symbolism, reflecting Whistler’s aesthetic theory of “art for art’s sake”. How did Whistler create and exhibit this painting in the late 19th century? What was the story and context behind this remarkable work of art? And what can we learn from it about the art and culture of the Victorian era? Join me as we admire and analyse Whistler’s Mother by James McNeill Whistler.
