Daffodils 1885

Berthe Morisot's "Daffodils" is a beautiful example of Impressionism, a style she is known for. Painted in 1885, it features a bowl of bright yellow daffodils, set against a soft, muted background. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, contributing to the feeling of immediacy and spontaneity that is characteristic of Impressionism. Morisot's choice of subject matter, the everyday beauty of nature, reflects the Impressionist fascination with capturing fleeting moments in time. The simple composition, with its focus on the vibrant flowers, highlights the painter's skill in capturing the essence of her subject.
