Marie Bracquemond worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Marie Bracquemond as French painter (1840–1916).
Marie Bracquemond was born at Landunvez in 1840. Her recorded nationality is France.
The nineteenth century broke the academy's authority: independent exhibitions, dealers and the beginnings of modernism.
She worked as painter, porcelain painter and printmaker.
Her recorded movement is impressionism.
Among her best-known works are The Lady in White and Three Women with Parasols. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in France shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Marie Bracquemond died in 1916, aged 76. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
