Who was Berthe Morisot?

Berthe Morisot (1841–1895) was a French painter and one of the founding members of Impressionism — the only woman among the original group who exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, alongside Monet, Renoir, Degas, Sisley and Pissarro. She married Eugène Manet, brother of the painter Édouard Manet, who became a close friend and artistic influence — he painted several portraits of her.

Morisot painted primarily her own world: her daughter Julie, gardens, terraces and intimate domestic scenes. Her work is marked by a lightness and spontaneity that many contemporaries considered the purest expression of Impressionism.

Morisot and Manet

Morisot was central to the circle around Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Her relationship with Manet was both personal and artistic — he painted her many times, and she introduced him to outdoor painting techniques that later defined Impressionism.

Morisot's most famous works

The Cradle (Le Berceau, 1872)

The Cradle is Morisot's most celebrated painting — a mother watches over her sleeping child in a tulle-draped cradle. It hangs at the Musée d'Orsay and is regarded as one of Impressionism's most timeless family portraits.

Summer's Day (1879)

Summer's Day shows two women in a rowing boat on a lake in the Bois de Boulogne, painted with quick, luminous strokes.

Hanging the Laundry Out to Dry

One of Morisot's most characteristic works — everyday life transformed into poetry through light and colour.

Julie Daydreaming

Morisot's daughter Julie was a recurring subject throughout her career, reflecting the intimacy at the heart of her art.
