In 1859, the poet Charles Baudelaire wrote enthusiastically about Boudin’s pastel seascapes. They are studies of sky and water, intended to be worked up into paintings. Boudin worked extensively on the Normandy coast, including his birthplace, Honfleur. In Le Havre, in 1858, he met the young Claude Monet, for whom he was an important influence.
