Description: | Signed: yes Description: Eugène Boudin was one of the most important precursors of Impressionism, and he is said to have encouraged the young Monet to work outside from nature. Like many of his oils, A Street in Dordrecht is painted on a small wooden panel as they were easily portable. The scene is that of a narrow, busy street incorporating the human figure into a townscape. Boudin spent most of the year working in Brittany and Normandy but he also travelled regularly to Holland. Here it is only the draped Dutch flag that confirms this is a Dutch scene rather than, for example, the French town of Caudebec. | Subjects: | townscape; figure; animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Eugène Boudin (French painter, 1824-1898) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8803... | Go to resource |
