review 1: With Violets is about a lady painter named Berthe Morisot during the 18th century. She comes from a successful bourgeois family that encourage her to do what she wants in live. She is considered as one of the important figures during the Impressionists era. Who wouldn't be if you have friends like Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley and Eduoard Manet.The book depicts her career and personal life which involves the famous painter, Eduoard Manet, who famously paints many portraits of her. Throughout the years, some historians believe that they might have been secret lovers before she married his brother, Eugene Manet. Eduoard was already married when he met Berthe.
review 2: I found myself really drawn into this book.
... more Bertha was an interesting character. She was really didn't adhere to the social restraints of the time and she was rather liberated. Being able to get a glimpse of what it might have been like to live during the time of Degas, Monet, and Manet was rather intriguing. Knowing how influential those artists became to the world, I can't imagine living my everyday life surrounded by them. Good read. less
