An exhibition showcasing the achievements of Eugène Boudin (1824–1898), a 19th-century French painter regarded as a pioneer and the 'father' of Impressionism. Boudin is celebrated for his vibrant use of color and lively brushwork, capturing scenes from his native Normandy—from skies and seascapes to grazing cattle. His depictions of skies and clouds earned him accolades such as 'the king of skies' and are admired as 'a world of meteorological beauty.' Around 100 works, including oil paintings, drawings, pastels, and prints, are presented to offer a fresh perspective on Boudin's artistry.
