ⓘ Multi-artwork channel — paintings rotate every 10 minutes.

Nice, 1881. The Promenade des Anglais curving along the coast. Palm trees. The Baie des Anges opening up, blue so bright it hurts after a Paris winter. Berthe was there with Eugène and little Julie, 3 years old. But she couldn't set up an easel on the Promenade. A woman painting in public in 1881 was a spectacle. People stopped. Stared. Leaned in too close. So she rented a boat. Pushed off into the harbor. Painted from the water, with nobody breathing over her shoulder. The Port of Nice, Berthe Morisot, 1881.
