Eugene Boudin - Port Canaret (1872)

 Boudin painted in Camaret, Brittany, every year from 1870 to 1873 and then made several stays there. He tried to make the harbor's light, its cloudy and mobile atmosphere, fluid and changing. Here, the brightness of the brightly lit houses contrasts with the darkness of the sea and the sailboats. Loyal to the nickname "king of the sky" given to him by Corot, Boudin reserved the best place for the sky and clouds. The water is barely rippled by the sea breeze reflecting the movement of the sky. Fleeting and embossed reflections are suggested by a light touch of harmonious shades of gray, blue and green tones. In the end, there is only the presence of the fishermen, their silhouettes standing out against the light, creating a contrast to the vastness of the sky.
