until graduation!
And as promised, here's another beloved artwork...
Berthe Morisot, The Cradle / Le Berceau (French), 1872
Impressionism was an art movement that developed in France in the 19th Century. The Impressionists were seen as a group of outcasts..."unified only by its independence from the official annual Salon for which a jury of artists from the Académie des Beaux-Arts selected artworks and awarded medals." Impressionism is often recognizable by its sketched look, but loved for its depiction of everyday life.
Today as I was looking for this image online, Mitch peeked over and said, "You know what I realized today? That she's worried about something. Look at how she is fiddling with the cradle's covering." And you know what? I couldn't agree more. A mother's worry & love for her child is depicted in this painting, and I love how Morisot captured this private moment between momma & child. So precious.
PS- I have a canvas re-print of The Cradle hanging above my dresser in our room...it's one of my most cherished treasures.
