Apollo and Issé | Berthe Morisot Card

Apollon Révélant sa Divinité à la Bergère Issé (1892) by Berthe Morisot is a reinterpretation of François Boucher’s Rococo masterpiece, depicting the mythological moment when Apollo reveals his divine identity to the shepherdess Issé. Morisot brings her distinctive Impressionist touch to the classical subject, softening the forms with fluid brushwork and a delicate colour palette. The painting conveys a dreamlike atmosphere, blending mythology with the artist’s signature emphasis on light and movement. This work highlights Morisot’s ability to infuse historical themes with a modern, expressive sensibility. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalize the image.
