Art Captures Strong Emotions

The strong emotions captured by Berthe Morisot in “The Cradle” can touch many people. Several women shared what they felt might be on the mind of the young mother watching her new baby. When the painting was shown to Keith, he was clearly emotional and shared, “I really don’t understand that picture. But I am amazed at my reaction. Emotionally, it is very strong between those two. It really hit me. I’m an old Marine and, boy, it is hard to hit me.” Taking out his handkerchief, Keith dabbed his eyes, touched spiritually by the connection between a mother and child.
