Eugne Boudin may not be one of the most well-known European artists, but his
legacy inspired many of the great artists that followed, namely Claude Monet.
One of the first
European landscape
painters, Boudin
focused on painting
the sea and other
maritime subjects.
Fellow landscape
painter Jean-
Baptiste-Camille
Corot referred to
Boudin as the King
of the skies.
Pissaro was one of the most
important influences on late 19th
century and early 20th century art.
He began his career as a member of
the Impressionist school and was the
only artist to have his work displayed
at all eight Paris Impressionist
Exhibitions in the late 1800s. In his
later works, he also dabbled in what
would become known as post-
Impressionism and served as a father
figure to the major artists of that
latter movement such as Paul
Cezanne, the subject of this portrait.

of the most sought-after art
instructors of his day and
taught many of the most
talented young painters of the
time how to hone their skills.

movements shining light. His
iconic and distinct renderings
captured natural landscapes and
people engaged in leisure activities
in a way that was groundbreaking
at the time, and his philosophy of
using paint and canvas to recreate
the experience of perceiving
nature was a forerunner to 20th
century Modernism.

portrayed the human
form. Along with
Monet, Pissaro, and
other Impressionists,
Renoir helped launch
the Impressionist
exhibits that took the
art world by storm
after the traditional
art schools of the day
rejected his and his
compatriots work.

Like Pissaro and Monet, Renoir was a member of the Impressionist school of art. His
