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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e128 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47905055572193,"sku":"49686","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2524\/0922\/files\/71Sc5P9Bt8L._SL1500.jpg?v=1769623848","url":"https:\/\/shop.clevelandart.org\/products\/berthe-morisot-masterpieces-of-art","provider":"Cleveland Museum of Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
