Berthe Morisot was an eminent French painter, one of the central figures of Impressionism and the only woman to take part in the movement’s first exhibition in 1874. Her work distinguished itself among her contemporaries through its refined brushwork, masterful handling of light and color, and the profound lyricism of her imagery.
Morisot worked in a variety of genres, but she is best known for her portraits, domestic scenes, and landscapes. Unlike many Impressionists, she often depicted the private lives of women and children, capturing subtle emotions and the intimate atmosphere of home. Her style is marked by light, dynamic brushstrokes that evoke a sense of airiness and movement, and she possessed a remarkable mastery in rendering both light and emotional depth.
Striking examples of the artist’s distinctive style include The Cradle and After Lunch. Today, Berthe Morisot’s works are held in major museums worldwide, among them the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Her legacy continues to captivate audiences with its sincerity and innovation.
