Collection: Eugène Louis Boudin

Eugène Louis Boudin (12 July 1824 – 8 August 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "King of the skies".

He studied under Eugène Isabey. His style took its cues from Alexandre Calame and Gustave Courbet. Among his canonical works are The Beach at Trouville, the Empress Eugénie, Washerwomen by the River, The Port of Bordeaux, and Harbor at Lormont. He worked primarily in landscape painting and marine art.

The work sits within the Impressionism tradition.
