It is not a portrait of "motherly love", it is a portrait of a child being VAMPIRIZED by an androgynous figure, who has its mouth buried in the neck of the child. The adult figure has a beastial look about it, and it is holding the child as if the child were captured prey. Far from being a sentimental picture of "motherly love", it is quite simply one of the most horrifying drawings of vampirism I have ever seen.

I gave the book to my sister in law after I finished, but the scene where Vincent painted Starry Night was included. Supposedly he painted really quickly, all of his paintings. Do you know if it's true?
