About the piece

Painted in 1864, this masterwork by Eugène Louis Boudin exemplifies his fascination with the play of light over the Normandy coast. A group of vacationing figures in period attire are scattered across the foreground, dwarfed by the immense, atmospheric sky that dominates the composition with its soft pink and grey hues.
