Description: | Signed: yes Description: Boudin, a precursor of Impressionism, spent most of 1875 at Bordeaux where he produced at least 19 works. The port of Bordeaux was a popular subject for painters and Boudin exhibited two works illustrating this subject at the Salon of 1875. Mist, Bordeaux is similar in composition to Boudin's Le Bassin de Deauville of 1883 with the immediate foreground occupied by the sea, and the boats cramming in a frieze along the horizon, giving way to a foggy moonlight above. The three horizontal bands that form the composition in this painting was a normal device for Boudin, who executed countless scenes of marine landscape. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Boudin, Eugène Louis (French painter, 1824-1898) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8613... | Go to resource |
