Paris Street; Rainy Day, Gustave Caillebotte
Paris Street; Rainy Day, 1877

Gustave Caillebotte

1848–1894 · Impressionism · 6 works

Caillebotte turns a rainy Paris street into a study of modern city life. People and umbrellas pass through a carefully arranged space, while the wet pavement carries the light. Look at the contrast between the large figures nearby and the buildings receding into the distance.
