Beaulieu: The Bay of Fourmis by Eugène Boudin is a serene depiction of the Mediterranean coast, where boats float calmly under a sunlit sky. Boudin’s delicate brushstrokes capture the reflections of the boats in the water, and the soft, luminous light typical of the Côte d'Azur region. The painting emphasizes the tranquility of the scene, with the calm sea and distant horizon creating a sense of peace and quiet contemplation. As one of the early pioneers of plein air painting, Boudin’s work here highlights his deep connection to nature and his ability to capture the atmosphere of a place.
