Trouville, the Beach at Low Tide 1878

Eugène Boudin's "Trouville, the Beach at Low Tide" (1878) is a captivating plein-air painting capturing the seaside town of Trouville at low tide. Boudin, known as the "Painter of the Sea", masterfully portrays the atmosphere of the beach with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, capturing the movement of the clouds and the glistening water. The figures scattered on the sand add a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. This artwork showcases Boudin's mastery of light and color, highlighting his significant contribution to the development of Impressionism.
