Julie Manet & her cousins
Les Franciscaines opens its 2025 season with a new exhibition dedicated to Julie Manet, daughter of Berthe Morisot and niece of Edouard Manet, and her cousins Jeannie and Paule Gobillard. These three freedom-loving young women left their mark on their era through their creativity in a variety of disciplines: painting, watercolor, photography, music and writing.
Cousins andsistersatheart, they traveled, painted and shared the same apartment for several years, embodying a spirit of emancipation unusual for the time. Yet their respective careers remain little-known, no doubt overshadowed by the illustrious artists - blood andheartrelatives - who contributed to their formation: Edouard Manet, Mallarmé, Renoir and Degas.

Masterpieces of the exhibition
The tour unfolds in two chronological sections at the junction of the XIXᵉ and XXᵉ centuries.
From 1895 to 1899, the common thread is Julie Manet's Diary. Paintings, watercolors, letters and photographs present key moments in their formative years, as well as moments of family anchorage. During these five years of bohemian life, the trio enjoyed a rare freedom for young girls of the time: artistic freedom, thanks to the advice of renowned artists such as Auguste Renoir and Stéphane Mallarmé, but also freedom of movement, with numerous trips, notably to Normandy.
The second part, from 1900 onwards, explores the art of living and painting throughout their lives. The atmospheres painted by Paule Gobillard and Julie Manet extend to 1939.
Nearly a hundred works, notably from the collections of the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée Marmottan-Monet, tell the untold story of a woman and her family dedicated to artistic creation.
