The Dulwich Picture Gallery in London is showcasing a stunning exhibition of the works of Berthe Morisot, one of the most celebrated female artists of the late 19th century.

Morisot was a pioneer of the Impressionist movement, and her work was renowned for its delicate brushstrokes, vivid colors, and intimate glimpses of daily life.

The exhibition, which runs from March to September 2023, brings together around 30 of Morisot's paintings. The pieces cover a wide range of subjects and are displayed alongside works of renowned artists like Reynolds, Gainsborough, and Fragonard, drawing on newly discovered research and archival material from the Musée Marmottan Monet.

Morisot was a key member of the Impressionist group, which included luminaries such as Monet and Renoir, but she faced significant obstacles as a woman seeking to make her mark in the art world. Despite these challenges, she persisted and created a body of work that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.

The Berthe Morisot exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery is a must-see for anyone with an interest in Impressionism, female artists, or the beauty of everyday life. With its rich array of works, the exhibition provides a unique window into the world of one of the most fascinating and talented artists of the 19th century.
