About the piece
Painted in 1889, this oil on canvas by Eugène Boudin depicts the harbor of Dunkerque with his characteristic sensitivity to light and atmosphere. Often called the 'king of skies' by Corot, Boudin dedicates the majority of the composition to a shifting, cloud-swept sky that dominates the scene and reflects softly in the water. The low horizon line and scattered small vessels create a sense of tranquil scale and maritime life.
