Madrid.- The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza is proud to present “Berthe Morisot: The Impressionist Painter”, on view at the museum through February 12th 2012. For the first time in Spain, the public will be able to see a retrospective of the work of the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot. As the result of an important loan agreement, the exhibition will include more than thirty works from the collection of the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, shown alongside others from the Thyssen collections. The result will be to reveal Morisot’s luminous and elegant approach to painting, expressed in the form of landscapes, scenes of daily life and intimate female portraits.
