1891, Berthe Morisot, The Seine Valley at Mézy -- San Diego Museum of Art
From the museum label: Berthe Morisot was an accomplished Impressionist and one of only four women in the otherwise male artistic circle. In 1864, she began submitting works to the Paris Salon until in 1874 she began showing with the independent artists, including Claude Monet and Edgar Degas, who became known as the Impressionists. Morisot was the only woman to exhibit in this first Impressionist exhibition and she went on to participate in seven of the eight landmark Impressionist shows that took place from 1874 to 1886. This painting was executed during the summer of 1891 when Morisot and her family stayed in Mézy, north of Paris.
