SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Born in Honfleur, Eugène Boudin (1824–1898) found many of his subjects in the harbours and beaches of northern France. The son of a ship’s captain, he opened a framing shop in Le Havre frequented by painters, including Jean-François Millet, who encouraged him to paint. Largely self-taught, he also studied at the Louvre and met artists from Barbizon. Following Corot’s example, he favoured working directly from nature. His small landscapes paid close attention to details of social life. Around 1856 he introduced Claude Monet to painting outdoors. The Art Institute of Chicago holds works including Approaching Storm (1864), La Touques near Deauville (1883) and Seascape with Boats (1898).
This profile brings together identity references for Eugène Louis Boudin and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
