The Beach at Trouville 1865

Eugène Boudin's "The Beach at Trouville" (1865) captures the seaside life of the French resort town, showcasing the Impressionistic style that he helped pioneer. The painting depicts a lively beach scene, with figures strolling along the shore, bathers entering changing rooms, and horses pulling carts. Boudin's signature light, airy brushstrokes and subtle use of color, particularly in the cloudy sky, create a sense of atmosphere and movement, making the viewer feel the ocean breeze and the energy of the day.
