More about this artwork

Eugène Boudin's exquisite creation "Antibes, Le Fort Carré" (1893) is a stunning portrayal of the serene coastal environment of the French Riviera. Captured in his distinctive impressionistic style, the painting showcases the formidable Fort Carré, which stands as a historic sentinel over the tranquil azure waters. Boudin masterfully employs loose brushwork, allowing the soft sky blues and natural earth tones to interact harmoniously, evoking a sense of the gentle Mediterranean breeze.In the foreground, detailed touches bring life to the scene with figures at work near the water's edge, perhaps fishermen attending to their daily tasks. Their presence adds a layer of human interest and scale to the majestic landscape beyond. This painting not only reflects Boudin’s fascination with marine landscapes and skies but also serves as a window into a peaceful moment on the Côte d’Azur, emphasizing the beauty of momentary, everyday scenes set against the grandeur of historical architectures.Encapsulated within "Antibes, Le Fort Carré" is a perfect blend of history, nature, and human activity, rendered with the sensitivity and the eye for atmospheric effect that Boudin is celebrated for.

Eugène Louis Boudin (12 July 1824 – 8 August 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "King of the skies".
