A genuine King of the skies, Eugène Boudin perfected the art of transcribing changing elements like light, clouds, and waves.<br /><br />"Eugène Boudin, through his travels" Exhibition, 2013.<br />Jacquemart-André Museum, Parishttp://www.visitmuseums.com/exhibition/eugene-boudin-at-jacquemart-andre-museum-3093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-20419931054963116122013-06-23T23:53:38.304+10:002013-06-23T23:53:38.304+10:00Parnassus

While working in a small coastal town, in a retail shop, he was not studying in formal art classes and he was not spending endless hours in the Louvre.<br /><br />Nonetheless he was very productive and, I agree, interesting. Some of his beach scenes would have been a lovely reminder to families of their holidays. Others not.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-32189942813134313912013-06-23T15:25:12.047+10:002013-06-23T15:25:12.047+10:00Hello Hels, The Monet you show at the end makes a...Hello Hels, The Monet you show at the end makes an interesting comparison with Boudin's work. Monet has the defter touch, but the greater detail in Boudin's style creates a different type of interest, although perhaps some of his broader expanses (as of sand or sky) appear to me a little choppy.

Not that I didn't enjoy Boudin's paintings; rather I hadn't seen Monet's comments about Boudin being his master before.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-10308406140841404172013-06-23T08:27:13.729+10:002013-06-23T08:27:13.729+10:00I think Boudin must be a bit underestimated.
