Breast milk is a natural food that includes basic essential nutrients and energy required for the growth and development of an infant. Breastfeeding, one of the essential ways of holding on to life, has been a major theme in arts thanks to its naturalness and purity. As the fundamental concepts underlying the idea of symbolic objects of desire, breastfeeding and breast milk have commonly been subjects in works of art especially in the fields of painting, sculpture and photography. Considered sacred in many societies, breast milk has become a major theme in works of art since the ancient ages.
