• Lot Description
  Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 55 x 74 cm. Signed, located, and dated in the lower right corner “E. Boudin / Dordrecht 75”. Presented in a gilt frame with a Baroque style. This landscape was painted in 1875 during Boudin's stay in the Netherlands, where he found in the lowlands and the vast open skies a subject perfectly suited to his sensibility. The composition is built upon a very low horizon that gives prominence to the sky, traversed by broad masses of moving clouds, rendered with loose, luminous brushstrokes. In the center rises the silhouette of a watermill, its verticality structuring the scene and serving as an axis between the sky and the river plain. The open sails, extended in different directions, lend dynamism and balance to the composition. The changing, atmospheric light delicately models the water and vegetation, demonstrating Boudin's interest in meteorological effects and direct observation of nature, a trait that made him one of the great forerunners of Impressionism. Boudin, initially trained in Le Havre and later in Paris, maintained relationships with artists such as Courbet and Claude Monet, whom he decisively influenced in his practice of plein air painting. His constant study of the sky and the variation of light is clearly reflected in this work, where the atmosphere becomes the true subject of the painting.
