Painting Description
Self-Portrait" is an exemplary artwork by Berthe Morisot, one of the few female artists who were central figures in the Impressionist movement. Born in Bourges, France in 1841, Morisot created this piece circa 1885, during the height of her career.
The oil-on-canvas painting measures 61 x 50 cm and is currently housed in the Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris, France. Presented in the medium of oil painting, a wide-reaching format in Impressionist, "Self-Portrait" demonstrates Morisot's technical mastery and personal vision.
In the "Self-Portrait," Morisot portrayed herself in an attire characteristic of the period, adorned in a black hat and dress — a stark contrast to the light, soft background. Her gaze is simultaneously introspective and outwardly engaging, a duality that offers insight into her personality as an artist situated in a male-dominated field and time period.
While Morisot's "Self-Portrait" does not feature the open-air scenery commonly found in Impressionist works, it nonetheless employs the movement's defining aspects: the delicacy of her brush strokes and the emphasis on capturing the quality of light and its effects on color. Her use of these techniques in a portrayal of her own visage further exemplifies her innovative contributions to and status within the Impressionist movement.
With "Self Portrait," Berthe Morisot not only gave the world a view of herself as she saw it but also brought forth a piece that reflects the social position of women artists of her time and contributes significantly to the history of self-portraiture in art.
