''In the 1850s, Boudin met [[Claude Monet]] and did much to help the young painter find his true artistic self. In the 1860s he frequently saw [[Edouard Manet]] and worked with him in Boulogne and Deauville.''  (cfr: Eugène-Louis Boudin, [http://www.abcgallery.com/B/boudin/boudinbio.html Olga's Gallery])

These discoverers are called Bonington, [[William Turner]], Paul Huet, Xavier Leprince, [[Camille Corot]], Eugène Isabey. This generation will mould the others. The [[Barbizon School|Barbizon]] painters - C Troyon, L François, C. Daubigny - put their easels up at the Saint Siméon Inn and on the shores of Villerville. The elder ones help the younger ones - Eugène Boudin, Alexandre Dubourg, [[Johan Barthold Jongkind]] - who in turn advise the new young generation of painters - Claude Monet, F. Bazille. This is a long story, made of encounters, friendship and advice, without any school or dogma. In the 1860s, Eugene Boudin was the federative element between the younger artists and their elders.
