| 113. This "Shore Scene"
is attributed to Eugene Boudin (1824-1898). Boudin was born into
a seafaring family, and is best known for his paintings of sea
and sky. He worked directly from nature on the Normandy coast,
especially in the resort towns of Deauville and Trouville. He
always painted outdoors and was interested in the effects of
light on the sea and sand in different seasons and times of day.
Monet and the other Impressionist painters held Boudin in such
high esteem that he was included in the first Impressionist exhibition
in 1874. Boudin introduced Monet and others to plein air
painting, working directly from nature, in the open air. The
painting was brought in for treatment by Augustana College, Rock
Island, Illinois. |
