More about this artwork
by (circa 1890-92)Renowned for his landscape painting, Eugène Boudin presents a tranquil rural scene in "Saint-Cenery, L’étang." The painting captures a serene pond environment, nestled within a lush, verdant setting. The artist employs soft, fluid brushstrokes to portray the reflective surface of the water, which mirrors the sky and surrounding foliage, enhancing the scene’s peaceful atmosphere.Boudin's mastery in rendering light and atmosphere is evident as he delicately balances the composition with a variety of greens and earth tones, interspersed with touches of blue and white that suggest a gentle breeze moving through the trees and rippling across the pond. The sky, a subtle mix of blue and gray, suggests a clear, tranquil day, and the pond itself is dotted with the soft impressions of water lilies.In this landscape, Boudin doesn’t just portray a location; he encapsulates the essence of a moment captured in nature, offering viewers an opportunity to pause and reflect.

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".
