Julien des Monstiers Layers Impressionist History at Musée Eugène Boudin
Julien des Monstiers (b. 1983) presents dense paintings at Musée Eugène Boudin in Honfleur, created during a residency at the historic Ferme Saint-Siméon. The works excavate 200 years of layered history—the inn where impoverished Impressionists gathered, Norman industry, landscape, and tourism—and are displayed alongside works by Monet, Dufy, and Boudin from the museum's collection. The exhibition runs from May 29 to August 31, 2026.
