Who are the women in Berthe Morisot's 'Summer's Day'? | National Gallery

Honestly, "misty" is kind of a compliment. That painting has a lot of atmosphere; you can almost physically feel how lovely a summer's day it must have been.

A very thorough and detailed explanation of Morisot's brilliant Impressionist artwork!! Such explanation and review clearly helps viewers to get a better perspective of the beautiful artwork!!😊😊❤❤

Interesting Summer Day woman in 1885

It is nothing wrong when a women paints in charming, delicat and gracious manner 😀. Morover also men used delicat strokes and colours , for example: The Pont-Royal and the Pavillon de Flore by Pisarro...I have always liked the Berthe Morisot painting, I have also liked Alfred Sisley painting, maybe a cause melancholy and quiet atmospher they convey.

I really like Berthe’s paintings, I’d love to know more about her and her works

FANTASTIC! I love to hear the history behind paintings, as well as gain a deeper understanding of composition, etc. CHARMING presentation. ;-)

Today you reached your goal for one person. It’s the first time I heard about her. What a shame she isn’t as famous as the other. Impressionists.
This is such a special painting. So fresh, and giving such a good impression of a day on the water.

Well, Edward Degas is one to speak: on how Berthe Morisot's style of painting could be called "vaporeuse".
One could say that Degas 'In the Cafe' aka L'Absinthe
(which was painted before Morisot's 'Summer's Day' was created) is far from "finished either. But that is what gives these paintings their unique atmosphere.
Always loved her work and the female view in her paintings.

Love your videos and explanations. Thank you!

Why is it important to know who the women are?

"One of the leading female artists of the 19th century"? No! What about: one of the leading artists?

She was very talented. I've admired the Impressionists for a long time, now.

Awesome!

Beauty and knowledge like this..expands my mind and brain. and Art does fill you with a better appreciation of Life and nature. Seeing these paintings and meditation on them, brings peace and understanding of people and the Elements of water and sky and beauty. How many young people today of many cultures no longer desire to study, enjoy and understand CLASSICAL ART and even music.

I love this video

Good - we need to highlight thd women artists!

Very interesting. Thank you.
