Trouville, the jetties, low tide
1888
Step onto the breezy shores of Trouville with Eugène Boudin, a master of capturing fleeting coastal moods who actually taught a young Claude Monet how to paint outdoors. Notice how the vast, swirling sky dominates the scene, a signature move that earned him the nickname 'King of Skies' from his peers. As the tide recedes, it leaves behind a quiet, reflective channel where small boats rest on the sand and tiny figures go about their day, perfectly freezing a breezy afternoon in 1888.
