The story of The Entrance to Trouville Harbour

Boudin painted this view of the harbour of Trouville-sur-Mer, where the River Touques meets the English Channel, in 1888. He was born in Le Havre, much of his work focused on the Normandy coast, and he was an important early influence on Claude Monet. The National Gallery in London acquired the painting in 1906 with the help of the Art Fund. The campaign to raise the £160 price was led by Frank Rutter, and the Gallery needed some persuading because it was still reluctant to display French Impressionism.

Eugène Boudin

Eugène Louis Boudin was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "King of the skies".
