About this work

Artist: Eugène Boudin (1824–1898)
Year: 1864–1865
Medium: Oil on panel
Original size: 27 × 49.1 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Realism

Fashionably dressed holidaymakers sit and stroll on the sands at Trouville under a wide Normandy sky, painted on a small panel with the quick, flickering touch Boudin made his own. Trouville and neighbouring Deauville had become the smartest resorts in France in the 1860s, and Boudin, a native of Honfleur across the Seine estuary, found his subject in the visitors who came by train from Paris. He painted dozens of these beach scenes, working outdoors to catch the exact weather; this one dates from 1864 to 1865. The young Monet, whom Boudin had persuaded to paint in the open air a few years earlier, learned the habit from pictures like this. The panel later belonged to Lord Rothermere and came to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1970 with the bequest of Ailsa Mellon Bruce.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Holidaymakers on the sands under a wide Normandy sky on a small panel, best kept small: a bathroom, hallway or coastal bedroom at 24×16 in natural oak. A white, pale blue or sand-coloured wall; it suits a run of beach pictures.

Style: Realism painting
Era: 19th century (1864–1865)
Orientation: Landscape
Mood: classic
Rooms: living room, dining room
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

Size. Prints at 18×12, 24×16, 36×24 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard; 36×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; oak lightens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Beach at Trouville in the public domain?

Yes. Eugène Boudin (1824–1898) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Beach at Trouville painted, and in what medium?

Beach at Trouville dates from 1864–1865 and was made in oil on panel; the original measures 27 × 49.1 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
