Catalogue of the exhibition of the same name set up in Nice, at the Musée des Beaux-Arts Jules Chéret from 8 June to 29 September 2024, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism.

The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue evoke Morisot's two stays on the French Riviera in the winters of 1881-1882 and 1888-1889, during which the light, the vegetation and the city of Nice itself were her source of inspiration. Through more than 80 works, photographic and archival documents, Morisot's entire career and private life emerge, touching on previously unseen aspects. She shared her intimate, family and professional journey not only with the greatest artists of the time, but also with writers such as Stéphane Mallarmé and Emile Zola. The richly illustrated catalogue takes into account the latest scientific developments and contains the complete corpus of the painter's correspondence during her stays on the French Riviera, as well as an unpublished sketchbook and a vast documentary corpus.
