More about this artwork
Berthe Morisot's painting "Paysage" from 1867 is a testament to her distinctive style and ability to capture the essence of nature with gentle, yet expressive strokes. The composition of the painting centers around a serene landscape depicting a rural setting flush with lush greenery. The foreground is dominated by towering trees, their trunks marked by detailed bark and leaves painted in varying shades of green, reflecting the vibrancy of natural life.Two focal points add depth and narrative to the scene: a lone figure seated by a fence and a modest country cottage nestled among the trees. The figure, likely a woman given Morisot's frequent focus on female subjects, is portrayed in soft, muted tones, blending harmoniously with the environment. This integration of the human element into the tranquility of the landscape reflects Morisot’s delicate balance between humanity and nature."Paysage" beautifully encapsulates Morisot’s contributions to the Impressionist movement, noted for its light brushwork and attention to light and atmosphere.

Landscapes and still life by French impressionist painter Berthe Morisot (1841–1895). She was celebrated for the feminine qualities of her paintings, intuitiveness, spontaneity and delicacy, and she often included her daughter Julie in her paintings. Berthe was married to the brother of Édouard Manet, and some say she was his muse, as she modeled in many of his paintings.
