Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895)

An impression of her paintings

at the 8th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1886

Introduction:
On this page you will see an impression of the about 29 paintings that Berthe Morisot probably exhibited at the 8th ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1886 (catalogue numbers 82-94bis). Morisot exhibited also series of drawings, watercolours and fans, it is uncertain how many, I assume 3×6. 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!

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.
