Petit Port de Saint-Jean near Villefranche 1892

"Petit Port de Saint-Jean near Villefranche," painted in 1892 by Eugène Boudin, depicts a tranquil harbor scene. Known for his plein air paintings, Boudin captures the soft light and atmosphere of a coastal village. The brushstrokes are loose and gestural, reflecting the immediacy of his observation. The composition highlights the interplay of land and water, with the reflections of the buildings and boats adding depth and texture to the scene. This artwork is a testament to Boudin's mastery of capturing the beauty of the French landscape, particularly the charm of seaside towns.
