* Eugène Louis Boudin (1824-1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. He was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. Boudin's pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies."
