Description: | Signed: yes Description: Throughout his life Eugène Boudin worked ceaselessly and single-mindedly to transcribe what he called the 'simple beauties of nature.' Here in Venice: Santa Maria della Salute and the Dogan Seen from Across the Grand Canal, Boudin captures the restless motion of the water and clouds, the transient gleams of light playing on waves and the characteristic movement of boats. The predominantly grey-blue tonalities of the scene on this dull summer day are lifted by the subtle notes of red, green and rich nut-brown which alludes to its atmospheric qualities. | Subjects: | marine; boats buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Eugène Boudin (French painter, 1824-1898) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8790... | Go to resource |
