Trouville, Boats at Low Tide
circa 1890
Known as the 'King of Skies,' Eugène Boudin spent his life capturing the ever-changing weather of the Normandy coast, often painting en plein air right on the beach. This lively harbor scene at Trouville showcases his signature loose brushwork and obsession with light, with the vast, cloudy sky dominating the composition over the resting boats at low tide. He was actually a major influence on a young Claude Monet, teaching him to look at the sky and water rather than just the land, effectively helping to birth the Impressionist movement!
