She met her longtime friend and colleague, Édouard Manet, in 1868.

By the introduction of Manet, Morisot was married to Édouard's brother, Eugène Manet in 1874.

On November 14, 1878, she gave birth to her only child, Julie, who posed frequently for her mother and other Impressionist artists, including Renoir and her uncle Édouard.

Berthe Morisot e l'Impressionismo

La prima apparizione di Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) al Salon de Paris avvenne all'età di ventitré anni nel 1864, con l'accettazione di due dipinti di paesaggi.

Ha continuato ad esporre regolarmente al Salon, con recensioni generalmente favorevoli, fino al 1873, l'anno prima della prima mostra impressionista.
