Berck, the Departure of the Boats 

Eugène Boudin, known for his seascapes and plein air paintings, captures the movement of boats leaving the port of Berck in this evocative artwork. Painted in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting's focus is on the fleeting light and atmospheric conditions, with quick brushstrokes capturing the choppy water and the cloudy sky. The work exemplifies Boudin's mastery of capturing the dynamism of nature, a hallmark of his artistic practice.
