The Diplomat in Spain

The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum presents, until September 30 Monet/Boudin, the first opportunity to discover through a monographic exhibition the relationship between the great impressionist painter Claude Monet and his master Eugène Boudin, outstanding representative of the French painting in the open air of the middle of the 19^th century.

The joint exhibition of their work will shed light on Monet’s learning period, in which Boudin played an important role, as well as on their respective careers and the origins of Impressionism, emphasizing the artistic interests that they shared, such as the attraction for the iconography of the modern life, the changing effects of light or the semi-wild nature of the cliffs of the coasts of Brittany and Normandy.
