Product Details:

Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte is a celebrated Impressionist painting that captures the modern urban atmosphere of Paris in the late 19th century. The scene shows elegantly dressed Parisians strolling under umbrellas along the newly constructed boulevards designed by Baron Haussmann, their reflections glistening on the wet cobblestones. Caillebotte’s precise use of perspective, with the streets and buildings receding into the distance, creates a sense of spaciousness, while the soft light and muted colors evoke the quiet mood of a drizzly afternoon. Unlike many Impressionists, Caillebotte painted with crisp realism, blending detailed observation with atmospheric effects to depict both the grandeur and anonymity of modern city life.
