Celebrate Berthe Morisot’s birthday with a special guided tour highlighting the artist’s luminous paintings.
Maurizio Patti leads this tour of Impressionist paintings, with a special focus on Berthe Morisot. See her intimate portrait, Girl on a Divan, a work filled with expressive, vivid colour. Patti will talk about Morisot's elegant voice in a male‑dominated art world, and how she captured everyday life with grace and innovation.
After the tour, we welcome you to Supporters’ House where you can reflect and discuss with others.
