Eugène Boudin (1824-1898), born in Honfleur and raised in Le Havre, devoted himself from the very beginning to capturing the fleeting effects of light in the Seine estuary. His student, Claude Monet, described himself as "fascinated" by the "instantaneousness" of these studies, the precursors of Impressionism.
The collection assembled by Yann Guyonvarc'h allows us to discover, through sketches as well as ambitious paintings intended for the Salon, the evolution of this singer of the sky, from the first Norman landscapes to the final seascapes of the South or Venice, and also to follow him on his travels in Brittany, Bordeaux, the North, Belgium and the Netherlands, without forgetting the famous beach scenes of Trouville or Deauville.
In this work, rich in more than two hundred works, this unique collection enters into dialogue with the works of the André Malraux Museum of Modern Art in Le Havre, an exceptional selection of drawings from the Musée d'Orsay accompanied by around ten paintings and drawings from the collections of the Musée Marmottan Monet.
