Morisot seems to have enjoyed watching people skate on the lakes in the Bois de Boulogne, judging by how many paintings she made of them. Beautiful wintery images! #Impressionism #BertheMorisot #LaLuministe
Julie Manet, born #OTD in 1878, was the light of her mother Berthe Morisot's life and her constant model. Here's Julie with her wet-nurse, her doll, her fluffy dog, and her violin. As an adult, Julie devoted herself to keeping the legacy of #impressionism alive.

For #indiginousPeoplesday, here is Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak (1927-2013) with a flock of owl paintings (fyi, that's a "parliament" of owls). Born in an igloo in the NW territories, Canada, she won many artistic accolades, and also had 11 children & adopted 7 more.
More artists celebrations of girls: Munter's Girl With Doll, Morisot's Girl With Doll, Valadon's The Abandoned Doll. #DayoftheGirl #InternationalDayoftheGirl
"Rain Shower in Autumn", by Uemura Shōen; "Autumn Leaves", by Ethyl Schwabacher; "September", by Helen Frankenthaler.

It is the feast day of #MaryMagdalene, shown here in a painting by Renaissance artist #ElisabettaSirani. She used to be "the penitent Magdalene", but Pope Francis, taking into account that she was the first person to see the risen Christ, has elevated her status in the Church.
For #CowAppreciationDay, from Rosa Bonheur: Scottish Highland Cattle, Head of a Calf, and Study of a Cow who can't even with the paparazzi!
First, the influence of Japanese prints when they first arrived on the scene in Paris. Simple, often just a single figure, no background. "Nude Seen From the Back" #Debut19Chat
