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 exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. 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 16×24 in natural oak. A white, pale blue or sand-coloured wall; it suits a run of beach pictures.

Era: 19th century (1864–1865)
Orientation: Portrait
Palette: cream & beige
Mood: classic
Rooms: living room, dining room, dorm room, hallway or entryway
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

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

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

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.
