Beach at Trouville 1864 - 1865

Eugène Boudin's "Beach at Trouville" (1864-1865) captures the charm of a seaside resort. The painting, which is characteristic of Boudin's plein air style, depicts a bustling scene of people enjoying the beach and the view of sailboats on the horizon. The loose brushstrokes and bright, airy colors evoke the sense of a breezy summer day. Boudin was a key figure in the development of Impressionism, and his work had a significant influence on Claude Monet, who admired his skill at portraying the effects of light and atmosphere. The painting is a testament to Boudin's mastery of capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
