Gustave Caillebotte

Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894) was long overshadowed by his friends and fellow Impressionists, including Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Pissarro. In addition to being a painter, he was a passionate gardener and sailor, as well as an art collector and patron. His paintings capture a wide range of subjects, from urban scenes and workers at their trades to rowers and sailing regattas. This book brings together key works that reveal Caillebotte’s distinctive position between Realism and Impressionism, highlighting his bold compositions, unusual perspectives, and keen observation of modern life.
