Today, Google honors Mary Cassatt, the American painter and illustrator whose mentors included Degas and Pissarro.

Cassatt is the most famous female painter associated with impressionism, and she studied under the American painter Thomas Eakin before moving to Paris and joining the party boat (literally) where Manet and Renoir painted their friends on the Seine.

Today is Mary Cassatt’s birthday.  You can see the Pennsylvania native’s work on Google Images.   Our favorite, by far?  Summertime, painted in 1894.
