Definition of eugène boudin in English English dictionary

{i} Louis Eugène Boudin (1824-1898), French painter who was one of the first landscape painters in France to paint in the open air

born July 12, 1824, Honfleur, Fr. died Aug. 8, 1898, Deauville French landscape painter. Encouraged at an early age by Jean-François Millet, Boudin became a strong advocate of painting directly from nature. In 1874 he exhibited with the Impressionists, but, unlike those painters, he was not an innovator, and from 1863 to 1897 he exhibited regularly in the official Salon. His favourite subjects were beach scenes and seascapes, which show remarkable sensitivity to effects of atmosphere; on the backs of his paintings he recorded the weather, light, and time of day. His works link the careful naturalism of the mid 19th century and the brilliant colours and fluid brushwork of Impressionism
