One of the earliest French plein-air painters, Eugéne Boudin became
known for his marine scenes, especially people and boats along the
shores, and for the expansive skyscapes of these canvases. He
worked in oil and pastel.
Boudin was born in Deauville, Honfleur, Normandy. His father was
a sailor, and as a young man, he worked as a cabin boy on a steamer
that sailed on the Seine River between Havre and Honfleur.
However, he lost interest in making that activity (showing 500 of 18060 characters). |
