Rouen, the Santa-Catherine Coast, Morning Mist 1895

Eugène Boudin's "Rouen, the Santa-Catherine Coast, Morning Mist" is a beautiful depiction of the Seine River in Rouen. The painting captures the hazy, ethereal quality of a morning mist, lending an almost dreamlike quality to the scene. Boats rest on the river, their reflections shimmering gently. Boudin, a pioneer of plein air painting, is known for his evocative depictions of coastal scenes and the effects of light and weather. This artwork is a fine example of his style, a masterpiece of Impressionism.
