Morisot Reclining tells the story of Berthe Morisot and Edouard Manet, whose contributions to painting in the nineteenth century shook the art world. It is structured around five p ortraits Manet painted of Morisot, each of which documents a different stage in their relationship, moving from mentor/student to a deep connection between lovers whose feelings were never consummated. Their relationship reaches its apex as Manet creates "Berthe Morisot Reclining," a work of unrivalled sensuality that brings forth the passionate connection between two diverse personalities who could never fully acknowledge -- nor escape -- the force that bound them together.
