Concert at the Casino of Deauville 1865

"Concert at the Casino of Deauville" is an 1865 painting by Eugène Boudin, known for his plein air landscape scenes. The painting depicts a lively social gathering at the famous Casino of Deauville, capturing the elegance and leisure of 19th-century French society. The composition focuses on a group of elegantly dressed figures enjoying a concert under a large, ornate canopy. Boudin's signature loose brushstrokes and atmospheric light create a sense of movement and immediacy, characteristic of Impressionist painting. The inclusion of the Casino and the gathering of people reflects Boudin's interest in documenting daily life and the changing social landscape of his time.
