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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Kay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flame Tree Illustrated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Masterpieces of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 8.21w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835627945","brand":"Flame Tree Illustrated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858593009801,"sku":"9781835627945","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_01b9a364-137b-4ce6-a74d-662a52b18e23.jpg?v=1780980975","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/berthe-morisot-masterpieces-of-art-9781835627945","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
