Berthe Morisot
Biography
Berthe Morisot (1841–1895) was a founding member of Impressionism and the only woman to exhibit in the group’s inaugural 1874 show [1][4]. Trained under Corot, she became known for intimate scenes of women, children, and interiors rendered with swift brushwork and luminous, restrained color [3][4]. Her focus on modern domestic life expanded Impressionism’s subjects and reoriented its gaze toward the private sphere.
