The Somme at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme 1890

Eugène Boudin's "The Somme at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme" from 1890, is a beautiful example of Impressionism. The painting captures a peaceful scene of the Somme River in France, with a small boat in the foreground and a small town nestled on the riverbank. Boudin is known for his plein air paintings, often depicting scenes of coastal towns and harbors, like this one. The soft brushstrokes and hazy light in the sky create a sense of tranquility and evoke the atmosphere of a summer day.
