Boats - Entry to the Medina in the Isle of Wight 1875

"Boats - Entry to the Medina in the Isle of Wight," painted in 1875 by Berthe Morisot, is a watercolor depiction of a harbor scene on the Isle of Wight. Morisot, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement, captured the light and atmosphere of the scene with loose brushstrokes and washes of color. The focus of the composition is the bow of a sailboat, its form emphasized by the reflection of the water. The painting offers a glimpse into the life of the Impressionists, who sought to capture the fleeting beauty of everyday moments through a fresh and spontaneous style.
