We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Eugene Boudin also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Trouville Beach is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

Eugene Boudin, an esteemed artist and follower of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, specialized in capturing landscapes primarily along the northern coast of France. He played a pivotal role in promoting plein air painting, advocating for artists to work directly in the open air rather than sketching outdoors and creating a final composition in the studio. This artistic approach became more feasible in the 1840s when the advent of oil paints in tubes replaced the previous method of using pigs' bladders. The introduction of tubes allowed paints to remain moist for longer periods as the caps could be securely placed, facilitating outdoor painting.

Nevertheless, many artists were initially hesitant to adjust their palettes according to the natural light surrounding them or to depict landscapes under natural lighting conditions.

Boudin's significant influence on Impressionism stemmed from his encounter with Claude Monet in 1858. Monet swiftly fell under Boudin's sway and later remarked, "If I became a painter, it was thanks to Boudin."

Additionally, Boudin ventured into painting scenes of leisure involving the French population, often set by the seaside. This concept was relatively uncommon during his time but was swiftly embraced by the young and progressive group of artists who would later be recognized as the Impressionists.

His paintings often possess an expressive and sketch-like quality, seldom featuring a central subject. Instead, they showcase small figures under expansive, vibrant skies. In his later years, Corot referred to these artistic renditions as "meteorological beauties" and bestowed upon Boudin the title of the "king of the skies."
