Eugene Boudin Gallery
Oil on panel
5-7/8 x 9-7/8 in.

While Boudin's figures may be casually and spontaneously arranged, they are in fact part of a carefully controlled composition. Even the umbrellas, by their placement and color, carry the eye back on a diagonal through the composition.

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.
