Berthe Morisot Art

Berthe Morisot 1841-1895 French Les Aloès, Cimiez Oil on canvas This masterpiece was painted by the renowned Impressionist artist, Berthe Morisot. Entitled Les Aloès, Cimiez, the captivating painting serves as an ode to the enchanting landscapes of the Mediterranean and tells a timeless tale of familial warmth. Celebrated for her ability to capture the essence of a moment, Morisot takes the viewer to the sun-kissed hills of Cimiez, the upscale hilltop neighborhood overlooking the azure beauty of Nice. In the aftermath of the Impressionist Exhibition of 1888, Morisot, accompanied by her husband Eugène Manet and their daughter Julie, sought refuge in the picturesque villa Ratti.

Under Morisot's delicate brush, the aloes of the garden come alive, seemingly dancing in a gentle breeze. Her palette of pastel blues, yellows and greens belie the tranquility of the setting.
