Environs d’Honfleur c. 1854 - 1857

Eugène Boudin, known for his plein-air landscapes, painted "Environs d'Honfleur" around 1854–1857. This painting showcases his signature style, capturing the light and atmosphere of the French countryside. The painting depicts a serene landscape with lush greenery, including a group of trees in the foreground and a glimpse of a water body in the distance. The figures in the background add a sense of scale and human presence, while the overall composition invites viewers to contemplate the beauty of nature. This work exemplifies Boudin's mastery of capturing the fleeting effects of light and shadow, characteristic of the Barbizon school of painting.
