Today’s Painting
今日畫作
Dreamy, pensive, bored—whatever your interpretation of the girl’s expression, French artist Berthe Morisot captured a serene mood in Julie Daydreaming, a portrait of her 16-year-old daughter. The plain background is anything but, with its defined brushstrokes in shades of brown and green that complement the hues in Julie’s hair and offset her white dress, itself rendered in pale grays and blues.
夢幻的，哀愁的，無聊的–無論您如何解讀《做白日夢的朱莉》裡這個女孩的表情，法國藝術家貝爾特·莫里索特都在這幅描繪其16歲女兒的肖像中，捕捉到了一種寧靜的情緒。簡單的背景絕不僅僅是借用了淺灰色和藍色，清晰的筆觸所描繪的棕色和綠色陰影，與朱莉頭髮的顏色相輔相成，並凸顯了白色的裙子。
Morisot and Mary Cassatt were the only two women painters within the inner circle of the French Impressionists, the most important and influential art movement of the 19th century. She was married to Eugène Manet, the younger brother of fellow Impressionist Édouard Manet. Her husband, also a painter, gave up his career to manage hers.
莫里索特和瑪麗·卡薩特是法國印象派核心圈中僅有的兩位女畫家。法國印象派是19世紀最重要且最有影響力的藝術運動。她嫁給了同事印象派畫家愛德華·馬奈的弟弟歐仁·馬奈。她的丈夫也是畫家，放棄了自己的事業來幫助她的事業。
Although considered equals to their male colleagues in terms of artistic talent, Morisot and Cassatt were confined, due to society’s mores, to painting primarily domestic scenes of women and children. Not long after this painting was completed, Julie was tragically orphaned when Morisot, widowed three years earlier, succumbed to pneumonia at age 54.
儘管人們認為她們在藝術才能方面與男畫家相當，但由於社會的風俗，莫里索特和卡薩特被限制在只能繪畫女性和兒童的家庭場景。這幅畫完成後不久，朱莉便不幸地成為孤兒。她的母親莫里索特於三年前喪偶，享年54歲時死於肺炎。
Artist Introduction
畫家簡介
Berthe Marie Pauline Morisot was a painter and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. She was described by Gustave Geffroy in 1894 as one of "les trois grandes dames" of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt.
貝爾特·瑪麗·保琳·莫里索特是巴黎畫家和畫家圈中的成員，被大家稱為印象派畫家。她在1894年與瑪麗·布拉克蒙德和瑪麗·卡薩特一起，被古斯塔夫·格夫羅伊形容為印象派“三位偉大的女人”。
In 1864, she exhibited for the first time in the highly esteemed Salon de Paris. Sponsored by the government, and judged by Academicians, the Salon was the official, annual exhibition of the Académie des beaux-arts in Paris. Her work was selected for exhibition in six subsequent Salons[2] until, in 1874, she joined the "rejected" Impressionists in the first of their own exhibitions, which included Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. It was held at the studio of the photographer Nadar. She was married to Eugène Manet, the brother of her friend and colleague Édouard Manet.
1864年，她首次在備受尊崇的巴黎沙龍上展出。該沙龍由政府贊助，並由院士評判，是巴黎博奧學院藝術年度官方展覽。隨後她的作品被選入到六個沙龍展出，直到1874年，她參加了“拒絕”印象派畫家的首次展覽，其中包括保羅·塞尚，埃德加·德加斯，克洛德·莫奈，卡米爾·畢沙羅，皮埃爾·奧古斯特雷諾阿和阿爾弗雷德·希思黎。它在攝影師納達爾的攝影棚裡舉行。她嫁給了她朋友兼同事愛德華·馬奈的兄弟歐仁·馬奈。
