About the Artwork

Paris Street: Rainy Day - Item # 2577703

This complex intersection, just minutes away from the Saint-Lazare train station, represents in microcosm the changing urban milieu of late nineteenth-century Paris. Gustave Caillebotte grew up near this district when it was a relatively unsettled hill with narrow, crooked streets. As part of a new city plan designed by Baron Georges-Eugene Haussmann, these streets were relaid and their buildings razed during the artist's lifetime. In this monumental urban view, which measures almost seven by ten feet and is considered the artist's masterpiece, Caillebotte strikingly captured a vast, stark modernity, complete with life-size figures strolling in the foreground and wearing the latest fashions. The painting's highly crafted surface, rigorous perspective, and grand scale pleased Parisian audiences accustomed to the academic aesthetic of the official Salon. On the other hand, its asymmetrical composition, unusually cropped forms, rain-washed mood, and candidly contemporary subject stimulated a more radical sensibility. For these reasons, the painting dominated the celebrated Impressionist exhibition of 1877, largely organized by the artist himself. In many ways, Caillebotte's frozen poetry of the Parisian bourgeoisie prefigures Georges Seurat's luminous, Sunday on La Grande Jatte 1884, painted less than a decade later.

About the Artist

Gustave Caillebotte

Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) is a French Impressionist painter. Virtually unknown until the 1950s, his lovingly rendered scenes of Paris and city life burst with life, movement, and color. Gustave Caillebotte wall art helps bring the work of this still underappreciated master to your home.

What are the characteristics of Gustave Caillebotte wall art?

While Gustave Caillebotte is considered an Impressionist painter, his more celebrated work has more in common with Realism. His early output featured the loose brushwork and light colors emblematic of Impressionism, but his later work was highly representative and bordering on photographic, which partly explains his categorization.

Caillebotte was an accomplished draftsman. His geometric prowess allowed him to achieve work with interesting and unorthodox perspectives. He took some cues from his Impressionist contemporaries, such as a dazzling use of natural light. However, his brushwork had a smooth and crisp quality that he used to capture his best Realist works.

The subject matter of Gustave Caillebotte wall art includes portraits, rural landscapes, and lovingly rendered flowers. However, he is best known for his distinctive depictions of Paris life and, in particular, contemplative balcony scenes.

The colors in Gustave Caillebotte art are typically restrained and muted. In many compositions, he used somber blue-gray hues as the dominant hue with a splash of vibrant color. However, his later-day works often preferred vivid tones over pastels.

How to choose Gustave Caillebotte art

Gustave Caillebotte art features a varied mix of color, subject matter, and theme. His early and later works are fairly distinct and represent a shift in style towards less precise brushwork and a newfound celebration of color.

Caillebotte's art can look incredible in a range of spaces. Even very modern or minimalist homes can be improved by the right piece of Impressionist or Realist art. However, they will also look right at home in more traditional or classical design spaces. Frames are an important part of bridging the divide between 20th-century art and contemporary design spaces, with their ability to provide balance.

As always, personal preference is the ultimate deciding factor. However, if you have a subdued color scheme that leans toward soft pastels, Caillebotte's work will fit right in. Similarly, if you need something brighter to fit your decor scheme, look for something in his latter period, and you won't be disappointed.

Explore our wonderful collection of Gustave Caillebotte wall art to find the right piece for your walls. Incredible brushwork and use of perspective are just two of the standout attributes that make Caillebotte worth celebrating.
