Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) was a French painter renowned for his marine landscapes and beach scenes. Born in Honfleur, Normandy, Boudin was the son of a ship's captain. His early exposure to the sea profoundly influenced his work, which often depicted coastal scenes and the ever-changing skies.
Boudin began his career in Le Havre, where he opened a framing shop that attracted local artists. Encouraged by Jean-François Millet and other painters, he pursued painting seriously and eventually moved to Paris to study at the Louvre. In Paris, he connected with artists of the Barbizon School, whose influence is evident in his preference for painting en plein air (outdoors).
One of Boudin's most significant contributions to art was his role in the early development of Impressionism. He befriended and mentored the young Claude Monet, introducing him to outdoor painting. Monet later credited Boudin with inspiring him to become a painter.
Boudin's work is characterised by its vibrant portrayal of light and atmosphere, earning him the nickname "King of the Skies" from Camille Corot. His beach scenes from Trouville and Deauville, capturing the leisure activities of Parisians, were particularly popular. These works showcased his ability to blend detailed observation with a loose, fluid painting style.
Throughout his career, Boudin stayed loyal to his native Normandy, although he traveled extensively, visiting Brittany, Belgium, and Venice. His works received positive feedback, and he took part in the inaugural Impressionist exhibition in 1874. In 1895, he achieved a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle, establishing himself as a leading artist of his era.
The impact of Boudin's influence on the Impressionist movement and his stunning portrayals of nature have left a lasting legacy. His art is still revered for its pioneering techniques in capturing the ephemeral interplay of light and weather on the natural environment.

Love it. So cheering on these dark days of winter. Thank you John.
I was looking for a print of st ives and came across John dyers work . I particularly like the colours and style of this piece , especially the fat seagulls . It’s complete fun in a frame and reminds us of happy days spent at the harbour
The print is fabulous, beautiful and my sister will love it. Thank you
Really like this picture as it brings brightness to our kitchen diner. We framed it with a white border and blue second border. Looks amazing
We love John’s pictures of France. We already have an original of Nice but bought this poster as it brings back so many wonderful memories.
Superb communication and attentiveness from gallery. The poster is of course wonderful.
Love this print - bright, sunny and makes one feel warm and happy!
Delivery was all easy and straightforward. Many thanks.
The print is even better in real life. It’s printed on beautiful quality paper which makes the colours really pop and the painting itself is simply charming. It brings so much joy to us. We love it! Thank you
A lovely art print bought as a memory of our holidays on the beautiful Isles of Scilly.
The frame is very well made and displays the art print beautifully. Ordering from John Dyer Gallery was simple and delivery swift. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
Thank you so much for the amazing customer service, and most beautiful painting of our favourite place
Absolutely beautiful painting. So thrilled with it. Completely amazing service: beautifully packaged, framed and safely delivered really quickly.
Lovely picture, bought 3 after our recent trip to Cornwall. Already thinking of getting more.
Have walked this coastal path from St Agnes to Chapel Porth and back countless time. I am now pleased that this fabulous print is the first thing I see every morning. Beautiful, happy colours. Nice frame. I’m now planning of ordering one of Mount’s Bay by same artist.
Such a vibrant, pretty piece. I visited Fowey Harbour recently and was looking for a small keepsake to have with me back in the U.S. Shipping abroad was seamless and I received this item quite quickly. I've had many compliments since putting this on my phone and am happy to be reminded of a wonderful trip to a magical place this summer.
As always professional , efficient and prompt .
We have been coming here for 27 years together. This is our place especially during lockdown. John has captured our place beautifully. I have many of John’s prints, always in my birthday, so this one for June is 😍 perfect. They always make me smile, colourful, fun and look perfect in our home
