The Beach at Trouville
Boudin took Claude Monet under his wing in the 1850s, when the aspiring artist was still in his teens. Monet came to embrace the older painter’s primary artistic concerns, which included a fascination with the transience of visual sensation and the effects of light and weather on the landscape. The young man also learned to value scenes of modern French life and leisure. Boudin was among the first artists to record the pleasures of the beach vacation, made possible by new railway lines to the northern French coast and the development of fashionable resort towns in Normandy during the Second Empire.
