Boudin account

Eugène Boudin (1824-1898)

Account

of his exhibited works

 

 

Introduction:
On this page you will find an extended account of the works that Eugène Boudin exhibited at the first ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874. You will also find the start of a more brief account of the works Boudin exhibited at the Salon, the Société des Artiste Français (SdAF) and the Société National des Beaux-Arts (SNBA), where he exhibited very frequently. For general information about Boudin and the used sources see the main page. For the exhibited pictures in 1874 see. For an impression of some works he exhibited at the Salon, see.

 

The first ‘impressionist’ exposition 1874:

  • catalogue numbers 17-22
  • No. 20 en 22 consisted of 4 works and no. 21 of 2 works
  • so in total Boudin exhibited 13 works, 3x oil paintings, 4x watercolours, 6x pastels
    • 7x indication of place
    • 0x indication of time, season or weather
    • 6x a study
    • 0x loans (appartient à…).
  • See for the suggestions of Moffett (R2,p119). Moffett refers to an exhibition catalogue in Galerie Schmidt in 1973 made by Robert Schmidt (R2,p498). See for the suggestions of Adhémar (R87,p230). See for the suggestions of Berson (R90II,p3).

The catalogue (R2,p119;R87,p230;R90I,p4;iR1):

1IE-1874-17          Le Toulinguet, côtes de Camaret (Finistère)
Le Toulinguet is in the far west of the Brittany peninsula, see link for location (iR9). Dayez/Adhémar suggests with a ‘probably’ 1872, Camaret, Le Toulinguet (Finistère), from the old collection of Durand-Ruel. Moffett suggests with a perhaps: Schmidt 808 or 809. Berson leaves it unidentified and she points out that Schmidt no.809 is the same as Adhémar suggests. Berson refers to a review of De Montifaud (1874/05/01), but he just mentions the work.

1IE-1874-18          Rivage de Portrieux (Côtes-du-Nord)
1IE-1874-19          Rivage de Portrieux (Côtes-du-Nord)
Eng.: the shoreline at (Saint-Quay-)Portrieux, see map (iR9). Moffett suggests with a perhaps for no.18: 1874, Environs de Portrieux (The coast near Portrieux, Brittany), 85×148 in a private collection in England = Schmidt no. 964 (R2,p125). Berson remarks that this option is also applyable to no.19. Berson refers to a review of De Montifaud (1874/05/01), but he just mentions the work. Adhémar doesn’t give a suggestion. Selz suggests the following work to be exhibited ‘1874, Surroundings of Portrieux’ and describes it as ‘a range of colors with its brown earth and glowering stormy sky’ (R161,p65); I could not identify this work. For no.19 I render to compare a work that is made a year later: 1875, The Shore and the Sea at Portrieux, 54×90, private (iR2;R2,p119;R90II,p3).

1IE-1874-20          4 Cadres (même numéro). Études de ciel (pastels)
Moffett doesn’t give a suggestion; see also no. 22. Berson omits this work, which also means there was no review (R90II,p3). Adhémar doesn’t give a suggestion. I render 4 uncertain options: 1860, Seascape with Large Sky, pastel, xx, private (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1854-59ca, White Clouds, xx, MEB Honfleur (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1854-59ca, Boudin white clouds over the Estuary, pastel, MEB Honfleur (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1859ca, Fine Weather, White Clouds, xx, MEB Honfleur (iR2;R2,p119).

1IE-1874-21          2 Cadres (même numéro). Études diverses (pastels)
Moffett doesn’t give a suggestion. Berson omits this work, which also means there was no review (R90II,p3). Adhémar doesn’t give a suggestion. I render two very uncertain options: 1855-60, Honfleur, the lighthouse, pastel, private (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1860, The Saint-Simeon Farm, pastel, xx, private (iR2;R2,p119).

1IE-1874-22          4 Cadres (même numéro). Plage de Trouville (aquarelles)
Trouville lies about 20km south of Le Havre. Dayez/Adhémar suggests with a ‘probably’ 1874, Plage de Trouville, watercolour. Moffett refers to this suggestion, wrongly noting no.20. I could not find a picture of this one. Berson omits this work, which also means there was no review (R90II,p3). I render 4 uncertain options: 1868, Trouville, wc, 17×27, private (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1865ca, Crinolines and Cabanas on the Beach at Trouville, watercolour, 16×27, private (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1872-73, Crinolines on the Beach, wc, xx, private (iR2;R2,p119); and: 1865, Crinolines on the Beach at Trouville, watercolour, 14×26, private (iR2;R2,p119).
