Berthe Morisot
Data de nascimento: 14. Janeiro 1841
Data de falecimento: 2. Março 1895
Berthe Morisot foi uma pintora impressionista francesa.
Iniciou sua formação com os mestres Chocarne-Moreau e Guichard e prosseguiu sob a tutela do pintor Corot. Também teve aulas de escultura com Millet. No ano de 1863 começou a pintar ao ar livre em Pontoise, onde conheceu os pintores Daubigny e Daumier. A esse período de intensa aprendizagem seguiram-se viagens pela Espanha e Inglaterra. Depois de conhecer Manet, posou para ele como modelo e apaixonou-se por Eugênio, irmão do pintor, com quem se casou. Depois de participar da primeira exposição dos impressionistas, em 1874, a pintora iniciou uma série de viagens de estudo pela Itália, Países Baixos, Brasil e Bélgica. Suas obras foram apresentadas em 1886 em Nova Iorque, e um ano mais tarde na Exposição Internacional de Paris. A obra de Berthe Morisot representa uma reflexão afirmativa da obra de Manet, embora com pinceladas mais longas e suaves, com tendência para a verticalização, numa tentativa de organizar a composição.

„If you read some of the Parisian newspapers, among others the 'Figaro', so beloved of the right-thinking public, you must have learned that I am part of a group of artists who opened a private exhibition [in the art-gallery of Durand-Ruel in Paris, April 1876]. You must also have seen what favour this exhibition enjoys in the eyes of these gentlemen [Berthe refers to the critical articles in Paris with all their mockery about her works]. On the other hand, we have been praised in the radical newspaper, but you don't read those [her aunts]! Well, at least we are getting attention, and we have enough self-esteem not to care. My brother-in-law Edouard Manet is not with us [Manet didn't participate in this first Impressionist show, initiated by Degas ]. Speaking of success, he [Manet] has just been rejected by the Salon; he, too, is perfectly good-humored about his failure.“

„Another stroll along the quays with Julie asking questions all the time. We stood for a long time examining the sun and the planet at a mapmaker's.... There in the Tuileries Gardens.... sitting down I began to ponder over my painting of the garden, watching the shadows on the sand and on the roof of the Louvre, and trying to find the relationship between light and shade. Julie saw pink in the light and purple in the shadows.“

„I have heard so much about the perils ahead that I have had nightmares for several nights, in which I lived through all the horrors of war... The militia are quartered in the studio, hence there is no way of using it. I do not read the newspapers much any more; one a day is enough for me. The Prussian atrocities upset me, and I want to retain my composure... Would you believe that I am accustomed to the sound of the canon [of the Prussians]? It seems to me that I am now absolutely inured to war and capable of enduring everything.“
