Pres de Quimper (oil on panel)
3629692 Pres de Quimper (oil on panel) by Boudin, Eugene Louis (1824-98); 42x60 cm; Manchester Art Gallery, UK; (add.info.: This is one of a number of naturalistic studies that Boudin made in the environs of Quimper, a small town situated at the mouth of the Oder estuary in Finisterre, Brittany, where he was a regular visitor in the mid-late 1850s. The waterside scene has the luminosity and sensation of breeziness for which he became renowned. Although the surface of the water is barely ruffled, the tall trees and marginal plants seem to sway gently, suggested by the restless fair weather clouds reflected in it. A small figure standing in front of the prominent cottage centre-right, and cows grazing centre-left, add a lively sense of scale. Born in Honfleur, the son of a ship's captain, Boudin spent much of his career painting on the coast of Normandy, capturing the changing effects of light on water. His experimental treatment of light and atmosphere was influential for the development of Impressionism, but he drew inspiration from it too. He used a more subdued palette than many of the young Impressionists, however, which ensured that his work was more readily acceptable, particularly to audiences in Britain. Boudin exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1863 to 1897, and at the First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874.); © Manchester Art Gallery

Pres de Quimper
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Eugene Louis Boudin is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to the serene waterside of Quimper, a small town in Brittany. Measuring 42x60 cm, this naturalistic study showcases Boudin's mastery in capturing luminosity and breeziness within his artwork. In this scene, the surface of the water remains calm with only subtle ripples, while tall trees and marginal plants sway gently under the influence of an invisible breeze. The reflection of restless fair weather clouds adds depth and movement to the composition. A small figure stands before a prominent cottage on the right side, providing a sense of scale and human presence. Meanwhile, cows graze peacefully on the left side, further enhancing the tranquility of this picturesque setting. Born in Honfleur as the son of a ship's captain, Boudin dedicated much of his career to depicting coastal scenes along Normandy. His experimental treatment of light and atmosphere greatly influenced Impressionism but also drew inspiration from it. Although he employed a more subdued palette compared to other Impressionists, his work found great acceptance among British audiences. Displayed at Manchester Art Gallery in UK, "Pres de Quimper" exemplifies Boudin's ability to capture fleeting moments with remarkable precision. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate his skillful brushwork and celebrate his significant contribution to art history.
