Eug\u00e8ne Boudin (1824-1898)<\/strong> born in Honfleur, Normandy, was a specialist of marine paintings and excelled at depicting skies.

After the epiphany Monet had, thanks to Boudin and his plein-air<\/strong> training sessions, he famously said <\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

I had grasped what painting could be; from the sole example of this artist in love with his art, and with independence, my destiny as a painter had opened up. If I have become a painter, I owe it to Eug\u00e8ne Boudin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eug\u00e8ne Boudin was heavily influenced by Dutch painters due to his training making copies at Le Louvre. Another Dutch painter, alive this time, had a significant influence on him. In 1861, he met with Johan-Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891)<\/strong> through the painter Eug\u00e8ne Isabey. Jongkind had first trained at The Hague art academy. He arrived in Paris in 1846 and discovered Normandy, especially Honfleur, in 1847.<\/p>\n

Boudin and Jongkind really hit it off. They later spent many days working side by side at the farm Saint-Sim\u00e9on near Honfleur<\/strong> with other artists. Monet wrote to his painter friend Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bazille in 1864: “I am still in Saint-Sim\u00e9on where we are happy and I paint a lot. […] We have quite a nice small circle. Boudin and Jongkind are here. We get along marvelously and won’t leave one another. […] I regret you are not with us as there is much to learn in such company.”<\/p>\n

Jongkind was a mentor to them<\/strong> for the treatment of landscapes and skies. Monet specifically said of Jongkind:<\/p>\n

It is to him that I owe the definitive education of my eye.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jongkind discovered the Dauphin\u00e9 region in 1873 for family reasons. Until the end of his life, he spent a lot of time around Ch\u00e2bon, La C\u00f4te-Saint-Andr\u00e9, Grenoble and Lyon.<\/p>\n
