Gustave Caillebotte

Paris Street; Rainy Day

US$ 681.00

Parisians cross a wet intersection near the Gare Saint-Lazare under identical black umbrellas, the new Haussmann boulevards receding behind them in exact perspective. The cobbles gleam, nobody meets anyone’s eye, and the composition is cut by a lamppost dead centre. Over two by two and a half metres in the original — modern city life painted at monumental scale.

Artist

Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) was independently wealthy, which meant he never had to sell a painting and could instead buy his friends’ — the Impressionist collection he bequeathed to France became the core of the Musee d’Orsay. His own work is cooler and more architectural than theirs, closer to photography in its cropping and its stillness. He was largely forgotten as a painter until the 1960s.
