Did you know?
Charles-François Daubigny was a pioneer of painting en plein air, famously purchasing a small boat he converted into a studio, which he named Le Botin. This allowed him to float along the Oise and Seine rivers, capturing the light and atmosphere directly from the water, which deeply influenced the Impressionist movement that followed.
