More about this artwork
Plage De Nice (1882) by Berthe Morisot offers a captivating glimpse into an afternoon on a beach in Nice. This beautiful artwork intricately captures the light and vibrancy of a seaside setting through Morisot’s adept use of color and brushwork. In this painting, figures are depicted enjoying the serenity of the beach. We observe a woman seated on the sand, her attention devoted to a small child nearby, portraying a moment of leisure and maternal care. Another figure stands by a green chair, looking out towards the water, embodying a sense of calm introspection. The background features architectural elements and greenery, typical of Nice’s scenic coastline, all rendered in soft, harmonious hues that evoke the warmth of a sunny day.The composition with its casual yet refined brushstrokes underscores Morisot’s impressionistic style, emphasizing the play of natural light and the fluidity of the outdoor setting. The choice of colors, from the soft blues of the water and sky to the gentle earth tones of the figures and sandy beach, create a sense of harmony and peacefulness. Plage De Nice not only captures a locale but also a feeling—of tranquility, of light, and the simple joys of a day at the beach.

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.
