| 'Chasing Butterflies' (1874) by Berthe Morisot; Musée d'Orsay, Paris |
Berthe Morisot is well-known among art lovers because she was one of the few great female Impressionist painters. Born on January 14, 1841, she was a member of the group of Impressionist painters in Paris and married the brother of Édouard Manet, thus becoming his sister-in-law. Manet made a portrait of her in 1872, called 'Berthe Morisot with a bouquet of violets'. I had contemplated using that portrait for this post but then, that would be a work of art by Manet and I wanted to show you one of Morisot's fine paintings. So here it is!
