Nella vita di Berthe Morisot
Tutta la vita1887–1895
Squaring and tracing paper: the synthesis of her last years
Morisot starts to use squaring and tracing paper to transcribe her drawings exactly onto the canvas, which lets her build compositions with more complicated interaction between figures. Her late works are distinctive for their synthesis of the Impressionist touch with broad strokes and light reflections and the graphic approach of clear lines.
1892
Her husband Eugène Manet dies
In 1892 Morisot's husband, the painter Eugène Manet (1833–1892), dies.
1892
The first solo exhibition
In 1892, after almost two decades of showing in group exhibitions, Morisot's first solo exhibition is held.
1894
Geffroy calls her one of the “grandes dames”
In 1894 the critic Gustave Geffroy describes Morisot as one of the “three great ladies” of Impressionism, alongside Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt.
1 March 1895
A farewell letter to her daughter
Having caught pneumonia while nursing her daughter Julie through the same illness, Morisot dies the day after writing her a letter: she says she will love her still when dead, begs her not to cry, and tells her to work and stay as good as she has always been. Sixteen-year-old Julie is left an orphan.
