As one of the founding members of the Impressionist movement, Morisot frequently painted en plein air or outdoors. In 2023, the Dulwich Picture Gallery will be exhibiting the works of Berthe Morisot to celebrate the work of this French impressionist painter. Her artistic spirit is reflected in "The Morisot," a stunning 3-bedroom house that features a flexible open-plan ground floor layout, a private balcony in the master bedroom, and a ground floor study or guest bedroom with a shower room.
