Eugene Boudin Biography
(b honfleur, 12 july 1824; d deauville, 8 aug 1898). french painter. the son of a mariner, he served as a cabin boy on his father’s coastal vessel and thus became familiar with the moods and atmosphere of the sea, which, with the normandy grazing lands, was his main subject-matter. after a year of schooling in le havre in 1835, boudin worked with a local printer and then with a stationer and framer who displayed paintings by visiting artists; thus he became acquainted with théodule ribot, thomas couture and jean-françois millet (ii), as well as constant troyon and eugène isabey, who were important influences. by 1844 he had set up his own stationery business from which he withdrew in 1846 after spending all his money on buying a conscription substitute. in 1847 he decided to become a professional painter and went to paris, where he was stimulated by the landscapes, marines and still-lifes of the 17th-century dutch school and contemporary barbizon paintings. he copied old masters, some of which he did for baron isidore-justin-séverin taylor, who subsidized boudin’s travel in northern france and belgium in 1849. in 1851 boudin was granted a three-year scholarship by le havre municipal council to work in paris, rouen and caen, as well as locally. in 1854 he made wider contacts with the group of artists who frequented the ferme saint-siméon, near honfleur. his visit in 1855 to quimper aroused an interest in local costume (e.g. breton festival , c. 1864; priv. col., see jean-aubry, 1968, p. 34); a second, extended breton tour in 1857 enamoured him of the landscape and yielded an important sequence of monochrome drawings reflecting barbizon influences. at an exhibition of the société des amis des arts du havre in 1858, boudin met claude monet to whom he offered substantial encouragement, stressing particularly the primacy of working directly from nature. in 1859 boudin’s pardon of ste-anne-la-palud (1858; le havre, mus. b.-a.) was accepted at the paris salon, where it was praised by charles baudelaire. in the same year boudin befriended gustave courbet, the style of whose largely studio-painted sea and sky pictures he raised to a new pitch of naturalism.
