Eugène Boudin's 1895 painting "Rouen, View from the Queen's Way" exemplifies the artist's mastery of plein air painting. This Impressionistic landscape showcases the Seine River in Rouen, France, with the city's iconic cathedral prominent in the background. The composition features a soft, hazy atmosphere, characteristic of Boudin's style, and a tranquil river scene where figures calmly fish by the water's edge. This artwork captures the essence of a fleeting moment in time, embodying the Impressionists' fascination with light and its effects on nature.
