Antibes, the Bay
1893
Eugène Boudin captures the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast of Antibes with a breezy, light-filled touch that practically paved the way for Impressionism. As a crucial mentor to Monet, Boudin spent his life chasing the perfect sky, and here he delivers a masterclass in capturing the shimmering turquoise waters and wispy clouds of the French Riviera. You can almost feel the salt air and hear the gentle lapping of the small boats against the rocky shore in this serene 1893 escape, proving why he was famously called the 'King of Skies.'
