The Big Picture: The art of motherhood

Illustrations of mothers and their babies underwater are among works of art displayed in a new exhibition of the work of Quentin Blake at the Foundling Museum in London next year.

'As Large as Life' is designed to highlight artists' contributions to hospitals and child welfare, and features four series of pictures by the famous illustrator created for institutions in the UK and France.

Included in the exhibition is Quentin Blake's biggest project 'Mothers and Babies Underwater' commissioned by the maternity unit of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Angers, France.
