Fourmis Bay Beaulieu 1891

Eugène Boudin's "Fourmis Bay Beaulieu" (1891) is a quintessential example of the artist's signature style, known as Plein Air painting. Capturing the ephemeral beauty of a fleeting moment, Boudin's brushstrokes evoke the soft light and gentle movement of the sea at Beaulieu-sur-Mer. The painting's calming palette and focus on the serene landscape highlight the harmonious relationship between nature and human activity, as seen in the small boats gliding across the bay.
