View of Paris from the Trocadero by Morisot
Tuesdays with Berthe Morisot!
Berthe Morisot lived near the Trocadero in the upscale community of Passy, in what is now the 16th arrondissement. This would be a view she would have seen many times and she undoubtedly spent much time strolling among the green of what is now mostly concrete, glass and water.
Notice the angle of this view -- this location today would put you roughly at the far right end of the top level of the Trocadero as you're facing the Eiffel Tower. The tower itself would be across the bridge and just out of view to the right. Les Invalides in the building with the gold dome in the distance slightly right of center.

Tuesdays with Berthe Morisot!
I've always believed that meaningful art should speak for itself. Just as importantly, it should speak to YOU.
Enjoy Berthe and the next time you're in Paris stop by Passy cemetery, and pay your respects to her and her brother-in-law Edouard Manet.
