Berthe Morisot (1841 - 1895) French impressionist painter whose personality stands out for her creativity and courage. She received an education in an academic environment, but after meeting with Corot, she began to paint in the open air and got her first success at the Paris Salon. She was influenced by Manet, who finally enabled her to get rid of the weight of academic tradition and brought her to the Impressionist style. For her independent nature, she left the salon and began to participate in Impressionist exhibitions. She painted the most intimate scenes from the lives of ordinary women, city ladies, and maids and for her female perspective on these issues, she received ironic criticism. She used bold techniques for the time (free brushstrokes) and was interested in the effect of light.
