Morisot, 1880 expo

Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895)

An impression of her paintings

at the 5th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1880

 

 

Introduction:
Here below you will see an impression of the 15 paintings that Berthe Morisot probably exhibited at the 5th ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1880 (catalogue numbers 113-127). Morisot exhibited 10 oil paintings, 4 (untitled) watercolours and 1 fan. Most works were figure paintings. I render the pictures in a more thematical order, by format and by used technique. Note: If you double click on the first picture (of a group) and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Sources:
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. 5 works were untitled and 5 works have a very common title, which makes them hard to identify. 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.
