For Berthe Morisot (b. #OTD in 1841), a portrait of her @ 18 by her sister, Edma (upper left); a self-portrait of Berthe @ work (lower left), "Reclining" by Manet (upper right); & Berthe w/her daughter Julie in her last years, by Renoir (lower right). #LaLuministe #Impressionism
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.
