The Beach at Deauville

Eugène Boudin’s “The Beach at Deauville” was painted in 1864. It’s an oil on wood panel. The scene captures the coastal light of Normandy with precision.

The painting measures 19.7 x 32.8 cm. Boudin often painted on small panels like this one, which allowed for easy transport and quick work en plein air.

Boudin was praised by Baudelaire for his pastels and called the “King of the skies” by Corot. He was known for capturing atmospheric effects.
