Eugène Boudin's "Pleine mer, Les lamaneurs" (1887) captures the essence of a maritime landscape. A large sailing ship dominates the center of the composition, with a small rowboat in the foreground. The choppy water and the fluffy white clouds suggest a gentle sea breeze. Boudin, known for his plein air landscapes, utilized loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors to portray the beauty of the French coast. This work exemplifies Boudin's mastery of capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
