EUGENE LOUIS BOUDIN (1824-1898) OIL ON PANEL
Eugene Louis Boudin (1824-1898) Original Oil on Panel "Plage a Trouville". Unsigned Purchased from well-respected art and antique dealer Olivier d'Ythurbide et Benoit Fauquenot in Paris. In frame 8.75""x7.5""x 1"". Weight 1 lb.. Gilt frame with linen liner. Eugene Boudin, the son of a ship's captain, was born on the coast at Honfleur in Normandy in 1824. He thus became familiar with the moods and atmosphere of the sea, which, along with the Normandy countryside, was the artist's main subject matter. As a young man in Le Havre, Boudin worked with a stationer and framer who displayed paintings by visiting artists, circumstances that allowed the young man to meet established painters such as Theodule Ribot, Eugene Isabey and Constant Troyon, among others.With advice and encouragement from these important painters, Boudin embarked on his own artistic career, eventually winning a grant in 1851 from the city of Le Havre to study painting in Paris for three years. During this time, he did a great deal of work outdoors. When Boudin returned to Le Havre, he embarked seriously on a career of Marine painting. He traveled extensively in the area, painting scenes along the entire Atlantic coast, from Holland to Bordeaux. At an exhibition of the Societe des Amis des Arts du Havre in 1958, Boudin met Claude Monet to whom he stressed the importance of working directly from nature. He became a frequent Salon exhibitor, winning a third-place medal in 1881 and a Gold Medal in 1889 at the Exposition Universelle. Three years later he was made a knight of the Legion of Honor. Two years earlier, Boudin met Claude Monet, who then worked with Boudin in his studio and became a life-long friend. In 1874, Boudin joined Monet and other Impressionists in the first exhibition of works in that style. At the end of his life he also worked on the French Riviera. By 1859 he had achieved a style in the rendering of skies that henceforth excited the admiration of artists and critics, leading to Courbet to call him a ""seraph"", and to Corot to coin the epithet "king of the skies".
