Mother Teresa- The painting 'Mother Teresa' shows familiarity with European art, particularly the Italian Renaissance, rather than drawing inspiration from Asian artistic traditions. This painting by M. F. Husain of the saintly figure, Mother Teresa, belongs to the 1980s. The central figure of the seated Mother has a grown up man lying on her lap horizontally. This speaks of the artist’s familiarity with European art, especially, the famous sculpture of Italian Renaissance master, Michelangelo’s Pieta.
