Frequent Art Questions

  • Tell me more.

    Trouville, depicted here, is a coastal town in northern France that was a popular summer destination for 19th century Parisians and was a hotspot for landscape and seascape painters like Boudin.
    Boudin was an incredibly influential Realist painter and is even credited with convincing Monet himself to begin painting outdoors.

  • Can I have a quick rundown on this one?

    Trouville, on the Normandy coast, was a hotspot for 19th century landscape painters and pleasure-seekers alike. Boudin was a leading local artist whose improvisational style had a tremendous impact on future Impressionists including Claude Monet.
    Thanks.
