Berck: Low Tide 

Eugène Boudin's "Berck: Low Tide" is a pleinair painting of a seascape that highlights the muted palette of the sunset over the vast expanse of Berck beach. The painting exemplifies Boudin's mastery of capturing the ephemeral nature of light and atmosphere. The painting features several boats at rest, their silhouettes stark against the horizon, suggesting the end of a day's work for the fishermen. This painting is a testament to Boudin's contribution to the development of Impressionism, showcasing his unique ability to translate fleeting moments of nature onto canvas.
