This stunning painting by the famous Eugène Boudin shows us the lively departure of fishing boats along the shore of Trouville, a beloved subject for Boudin. The composition captures several sailboats, each with tall, billowing sails, gliding across the sea under a sky filled with dramatic clouds and bright sunlight. The water shows hints of movement, reflecting both the wind in the sails and the changing weather.

Eugène Boudin (1824–1898) was a French painter celebrated for his pioneering plein air technique and his evocative marine landscapes. Today, Boudin is remembered as a master observer of light and atmosphere, whose beach scenes and coastal vistas played a critical role in shaping the evolution of modern art. Camille Corot called him the “King of the skies”. Boudin’s encouragement and mentorship were pivotal in Claude Monet’s development, helping to instill in him a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet’s Impressionist paintings.

D I D Y O U K N O W…. There is a Musée Eugène Boudin in Honfleur, his birthplace. The museum is dedicated to his oeuvre, housing an extensive collection of his coastal scenes and studies of Normandy skies.

“Having elder beauty take its place, enchanting modern space”

This elegant Louis XVI cabinet, to be dated around 1790, is a fine example of late eighteenth-century Dutch furniture. Constructed in solid oak and veneered with richly figured mahogany, the cabinet reflects the restrained sophistication and symmetry that characterize the Louis XVI period.

Large cabinets such as this example were among the most prestigious pieces of furniture in affluent households. They served not only as storage furniture but also as symbols of wealth, cultural refinement, and social standing. Mahogany-veneered cabinets were particularly sought after due to the rarity and expense of the timber.

“Having elder beauty take its place, enchanting modern space”

This Dutch Louis Seize commode with Japanese lacquer panels is not just a piece of furniture but a testament of beauty that continues to evolve across centuries.

Created around 1790, this Louis Seize commode is a refined example of late 18th-century craftsmanship, embodying both the elegance of European neoclassicism and the allure of exotic influences.

"Paris is always a good idea" -Audrey Hepburn-

New in the Collection is this atmospheric Paris street scene,
"La Porte Saint-Denis" by the famous Édouard Cortès (1882 – 1969).
.
This painting exemplifies Édouard Cortès’ gift for capturing the poetry of everyday urban life in Paris, the City of Light. Cortès depicts the monumental Porte Saint-Denis rising at the busy boulevard, its stone façade softened by a misty evening light. The wet pavement reflects shopfronts, carriage lamps and illuminated advertising kiosks, so that the entire surface of the street seems to shimmer with movement and color.

This atmospheric Paris street scene, "La Porte Saint-Denis", exemplifies Edouard Cortès’ gift for capturing the poetry of everyday urban life.

Edouard Cortès (1882 – 1969) depicts the monumental Porte Saint-Denis rising at the end of a busy boulevard, its stone façade softened by a misty evening light. The wet pavement reflects shopfronts, carriage lamps and illuminated advertising kiosks, so that the entire surface of the street seems to shimmer with movement and color. Figures stroll, converse and hurry past in small groups, while elegant horse‑drawn omnibuses advance toward the viewer, anchoring the composition in the rhythm of modern city life.
