In order to paint the river landscape scenes which accorded so well with his temperament and taste, Daubigny decided to build a floating studio that could be positioned to afford the best points of view and to capture the varied effects of natural light. The etchings that resulted in the series The Boat Trip are an early example of the plein-air aesthetic, the practice of working out of doors, which would be wholeheartedly embraced by the Impressionists.
