<br>
<br>Trouville, situated at the mouth of the river Touques in Normandy, was a small village that became a fashionable and elegant summer retreat for both Parisians and English visitors alike during the 1820s. From the 1860s through the 1890s, Boudin traveled to Trouville every year, painting the beach scenes for which he is best known.
Boudin often dedicated half of his canvases to an expansive, cloud-filled sky. As Gustave Courbet, exclaimed, ''My God, you are a seraph, Boudin! You are the only one of us who really knows the sky''
<br>
<br>Boudin often worked on location, believing that "Everything that is painted on the spot has always a strength, a power, a vividness of touch that one doesn't find again in one's studio" (quoted in Yann Le Pichon, The Real World of the Impressionists, New York, 1983, p. 79). This approach to painting was, at the time, revolutionary. Claude Monet responded to Boudin's methodology and was soon joining the artist on the beaches of Trouville. After meeting Boudin in Le Havre in the late 1850s, Monet wrote "My eyes were really opened and I finally understood Nature. I learned at the same time to love it" (Quoted in Maria Costantino, The Impressionists, Secaucus, 1993, p. 39). Boudin's lessons in spontaneity inspired Monet and many artists of the younger generation to continue painting, not only sketching, en plein air and to pursue their interest in painting "impressions" of nature, using looser brush strokes and luminous tonalities. Boudin has long been considered among the most influential figures to the Impressionists.Condition
