A print of “The Cradle” by Berthe Morisot on your wall
Tenderness, silence and the delicacy of muslin - Berthe Morisot's The Cradle is one of the most beautiful paintings about motherhood. A print of The Cradle works in the parents' bedroom, in a child's room, in a cosy living room, and as an exceptional gift to mark the birth of a child or Mother's Day. Whites, powder pinks, greys and shades of blue suit bright, romantic interiors in the French, Scandinavian or shabby chic style. The vertical format of the original lets you choose a classic portrait crop, ideal above a chest of drawers or beside the cot, or a crop close to a square. Morisot painted the picture lightly and transparently, and on Dibond that lightness remains matt and soft, while 5 mm acrylic glass adds luminosity to the whites. As wallpaper the motif creates an exceptionally soothing wall. In the artMonte configurator you choose the exact dimensions - we print in any size.

The Cradle
About the artwork
A young mother watches over her sleeping infant, and the translucent muslin of the curtain above the cradle forms a delicate, luminous screen between them. Morisot portrayed her sister Edma with her little daughter Blanche in 1872, and two years later showed the painting at the first Impressionist exhibition. The Cradle is one of the artist's most famous works and evidence of how, in a milieu dominated by men, the painter gave intimate scenes from women's lives the status of a fully fledged subject for art.
