Berthe Morisot by Manet Canvas Print

Berthe Morisot by Manet Canvas PrintUnlike most portrait art, this doesn't wait for approval. Manet's young Berthe Morisot looks straight back at you quiet, sharp, completely sure of herself. On the wall she brings a calm seriousness that softens a sharp modern room and adds depth to a more traditional one. Hang her in a study, a reading corner or a hallway where you pass her often. She sits best against chalky off white, warm stone or a deeper painted wall, with dark stained wood, aged

Avoid stacking it next to busy florals or other slogan art — this one likes a bit of breathing room and a wall colour with some warmth

Avoid hanging it next to anything loud or high-contrast — bright primaries or sharp graphic prints will flatten it

Test it this way: if the hallway feels safe

a guest room or a light hallway where you want a breath of sea air

an oxidised brass lamp

The deep red head

Hang it and the room shifts a little — flowers stop being polite and start carrying mood

the dark green leaves frame it

A terracotta pot or a stoneware lamp picks up the rooftops nicely

Hang it up and the room calms down
