Description
Julie Manet: A Life of Art and Faith In the late 19th century Parisian art scene, Julie Manet stood out as a central figure in the Impressionist movement. As the only daughter of Berthe Morisot and niece of Édouard Manet, she was surrounded by artistic talent from a young age. Her childhood and teenage years were marked by frequent visits from notable figures such as Stéphane Mallarmé and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Julie's life took a dramatic turn when she lost her parents at the age of seventeen, leaving her an orphan. Despite this setback, she continued to pursue her passion for art, posing as a model for her mother and uncle, as well as for her Impressionist colleagues. With her husband Ernest Rouart, Julie worked tirelessly to preserve the legacy of her family's artistic heritage. This comprehensive book, written by Marianne Mathieu, Dominque d'Arnoult, and Claire Gooden, offers a detailed exploration of Julie Manet's life and work, drawing on previously unexplored sources.
