I know that many of my readers travel to Paris during the year, so today I am starting a new series 'next month in Paris'. Each month I'll endeavour to highlight an upcoming exhibition or show that you may like to include in your itinerary.
Today I want to tell you about the Eugène Boudin exhibition starting third week of March. This is a show that is in my diary, I plan to go with a friend in early April.
Eugène Boudin was born in normandy, and was one of the first painters to grab his easel and leave the atelier to paint 'en plein air'. He didn't stick to the Normandy coastline though, and he was seen with his easel painting through Europe.
He is known for his breathtaking skies, and it is said that Claude Monet admired his work and considered Boudin his master teacher.
The charm of this exhibition is that so many of these paintings no longer live in France. Boudin was a popular artist with the american clientele from the word go, and many of his canvases have never been shown in France before now.
