## Image Caption
An 1882 oil on canvas painting, *Nice Harbour*, by [Berthe Morisot](https://www.worldhistory.org/Berthe_Morisot/) (1841-95), the French impressionist painter. Like many impressionists, Morisot was fond of seascapes as they lend themselves well to the technique of quick and bold brushstrokes painted *plein air* (open air) to capture the momentary play between light and colour. (Musée Marmottan Monet, [Paris](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/paris/))
