About the piece
Painted in 1879, Berthe Morisot's 'Summer's Day' is a hallmark of Impressionism, capturing the fleeting effects of light on water and fabric. The artist uses rapid, zig-zagging brushstrokes and a vibrant palette of blues and greens to evoke the breezy atmosphere of the Bois de Boulogne, where this scene was likely captured.
