Julie Manet, the Impressionist's Niece, Gets First Major Retrospective at Musée Marmottan Monet

The Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris will host a major exhibition dedicated to Julie Manet, the niece of Édouard Manet and daughter of Berthe Morisot, from October 19, 2021 to March 22, 2022. Titled "Julie Manet, la memoria impressionista," the show brings together over 100 works centered on her life and legacy. Julie Manet (1878–1966) was immersed in Impressionism from childhood, serving as a model for artists like Renoir and her uncle Édouard Manet. After her parents' early deaths, poet Stéphane Mallarmé became her guardian. She later married Ernest Rouart and became a collector and patron, acquiring works by Monet, Fragonard, Degas, and Delacroix, which she donated to museums. The exhibition features her diary, offering insight into her role as a model, artist, and philanthropist.
