Eugene Boudin was born at Honfleur, Normandy. He was a marine painter who painted outdoors. In 1857 Boudin met Claude Monet who spent several months working directly with Boudin in his studio. He exhibited at the Salons, receiving a third place medal at the Salon of 1881, and a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle. In 1892 Boudin was made a knight of the Légion d'honneur.
Comments about Boudin
| name | National Gallery of Art |
| subject | a nearly comprehensive picture of the artist |
| message | While Boudin was clearly interested in depicting the realities of his era, his great theme was the fleeting play of light on water and clouds. His ability to capture momentary sensation in works of timeless beauty made Boudin a natural addition to the collection of Paul Mellon, who wrote: "It seems to me that art makes one feel the essence of something, turning the ordinary, everyday object or scene into a universal one. Like poetry for Wordsworth, it is 'emotion recollected in tranquility.'"
