Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Beach at Trouville

Boudin's hastily applied colours capture the holiday bustle of the beachfront at Trouville in north France. During Boudin's lifetime he had seen the town grow into a thriving resort with hotels, bathing pavilions, promenades and a casino. As he had encouraged Claude Monet to do in his younger days, Boudin was painting a visual 'impression' of the modern world around him.
