About Eugène Boudin


Boudin, Eugène Louis (1824-1898), French painter, noted for his seascapes and coastal scenes. He lived mostly in Normandy, portraying the resorts of the English Channel in numerous oil paintings, drawings, and watercolors. Boudin was one of the first artists to paint in the open air rather than in a studio, which facilitated his portrayals of iridescent sand and water under bright, shifting sunlight.
