Eugène Boudin (July 12, 1824 – August 8, 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. As a marine painter, Boudin was an expert in the rendering portraits of the sea and sea shores. His pastels, economic and summary, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire. Corot, admiring his pictures, said to him, “You are the master of the sky.” Learn more »
