Description: | Signed: yes Description: Eugène Boudin probably painted this still life just a few years after he gave up his stationery business and went to Paris to train as an artist. In Paris, Boudin made copies after old masters, and he developed a taste for the paintings of seventeenth-century Holland. The composition and subject matter - a table laden with fruit, nuts, glassware, and oysters on a platter - demonstrate Boudin's interest in Dutch still-life paintings. On the other hand, his relatively free handling of the paint shows his affinity with the contemporary Barbizon painters. | Subjects: | fruit) still life (oysters | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Boudin, Eugène Louis (French painter, 1824-1898) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8882... | Go to resource |
