About the piece
This 1858 oil painting by Eugène Louis Boudin captures a festive day in the harbor of Honfleur. Large ships are draped in a kaleidoscopic array of signal flags, creating a lively, celebratory atmosphere against the luminous, atmospheric sky for which Boudin was celebrated. As a precursor to Impressionism and a mentor to Claude Monet, Boudin's masterful handling of light and movement is on full display here.
