Evening, Le Havre 1866

"Evening, Le Havre" (1866) by Eugène Boudin is a depiction of a harbor scene, characterized by a cool blue palette and loose brushstrokes. The artist, renowned for his plein air paintings of the French coast, captures the light and atmosphere of a late afternoon, as a large sailing ship rests at the dock. The painting's airy quality and focus on light are hallmarks of Boudin's Impressionistic style, which influenced future generations of artists, including Claude Monet.
