| | Eugene Louis Boudin - Le Bassin, Deauville - Rehs Galleries, Inc. |
 | | Boudin arrived in Paris in 1851, but to the dismay of the original committee members who awarded him the grant, he spent the majority of his time outside of Paris, traveling between Rouen, Le Havre, Honfleur, and Caen, escaping from the confines of the city to commune with the natural landscape. |
 | | Boudin’s successes at the Salon and his interactions with Durand-Ruel made the 1880s the moment of large-scale arrival — 1881 was the year that “marked the beginning of an ‘official’ interest in Boudin,” as he recounted in his journal. |
 | | Boudin became frailer and he was encouraged to spend the winter months in the south of France, near the cities of Villefranche, Antibes, and Beaulieu. |
