"Maree Basse à Honfleur" (Low Tide at Honfleur) is a notable painting by the French artist Eugène Boudin, created in 1865. Boudin, born in 1824 and passing in 1898, was a marine painter who is often credited with being one of the forerunners of Impressionism. His work is characterized by its dedication to capturing the changing skies and the effects of light on the sea, making him a pivotal figure in the transition from traditional landscape painting to the Impressionist movement.

The painting "Maree Basse à Honfleur" depicts a serene seascape scene at low tide in the port of Honfleur, a small coastal town in Normandy that was a frequent subject of Boudin's works. The composition captures the vast expanse of the wet sandbanks revealed by the receding water, with small figures scattered across the landscape, possibly engaging in clam digging or simply enjoying a walk along the shore. The sky, a subject of particular fascination for Boudin, is rendered with delicate gradations of color, reflecting his acute observation of atmospheric conditions.

Measuring 89 x 59 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Boudin the fluidity to swiftly capture the transient effects of light and weather. "Maree Basse à Honfleur" is a testament to Boudin's influence on the Impressionist movement; his insistence on painting en plein air (outdoors) and his focus on light and atmosphere were practices that would be embraced by later Impressionists.

The painting is emblematic of Boudin's legacy in bridging the gap between the academic traditions of the École des Beaux-Arts and the new approaches to painting that would define the late 19th century. As an artist, Boudin was celebrated by contemporaries such as Claude Monet, who famously said, "If I have become a painter, it is entirely due to Eugène Boudin." "Maree Basse à Honfleur" not only showcases Boudin's technical skill but also provides insight into the artistic transitions of the period.

Today, "Maree Basse à Honfleur" is appreciated for its historical significance and its aesthetic beauty. It remains a valuable piece within the oeuvre of Eugène Boudin and continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the development of modern art. The painting can be found in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it is displayed among other works by the artist and his Impressionist successors.
