Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895)

An impression of her paintings

at the 3rd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1877

Introduction:
Here below you will see an impression of the 12+1hc=13 paintings that Berthe Morisot probably exhibited at the 3rd ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1877 (catalogue numbers 120-131+hc). Morisot exhibited 4 oil paintings, 4 pastels and 5 watercolours/drawings. Most works were figure paintings. I render the pictures chronological by number. Note: If you double click on the first picture (of a group) and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!

See link for an account of my choices (with references, info, discussion, location on Google-maps). My main sources are Moffett (=R2), Berson (R90II) and Bataille & Wildenstein (R100). Often the indentification of a painting is ‘uncertain’. Sometimes to ‘compare’ another picture is given that is (probably) similar to the painting that was exhibited. 6 works Morisot exhibited in 1877 were without title, what makes it (almost) impossible to identify them. For explanation of the subscriptions, see here. My main sources for the pictures are the-athenaeum.org (=iR2), WikiCommons (=iR6) and Google images (=iR10). Sometimes I forgot the source (=iRx). See for the other sources at the bottom of the main page on Berthe Morisot.
