Nevertheless, she succeeded in forging a career, gaining respect, becoming a key player and creating a body of work that has stood the test of time. Her impressionism vibrates with light and spontaneity and yet possesses a density of form through the deft use of colour. Inevitably she painted what she experienced: scenes of intimate domestic and family life, gardens, flowers, landscapes - representing the real, unfiltered day-to-day life of 19th-century women - from the tender depiction of maternal love in The Cradle to the Far-Eastern inspired Julie with her Greyhound Laërte. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis gorgeous book introduces the reader to the background, life and work of the artist, followed by a curated selection of her best work in exquisite full-page reproductions.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51264727777503,"sku":"9781835627945","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/D_8qxD59Do9781835627945.webp?v=1787665899","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/berthe-morisot-masterpieces-of-art-hardcover","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
