Berthe Morisot - French Impressionist Painter - 1841 - 1895

When I started the research for this post I was both delighted and amazed at the versatility and talent of this French female Impressionist artist. Her work is superb, she covers subjects from landscape, seascape, portraiture, gardens, family and everyday life with her beautiful palette of colours, textures and attention to detail . . . from the sheerness of the netting on a babies cradle to a small white flower amongst the green grass in a park.
I have included just a small selection of her paintings, I wanted to add more but there is not enough space here, so please do a Google image search of the paintings of Berthe Morisot for yourself and view so much more of her wonderful art.
There is a link to more information about this artist which will tell you more about her life and her art, much more than I can fit into this small space.
Please click onto all of the images to enlarge them for a more detailed view.
