Gustave Caillebotte Repro

Gustave Caillebotte is a famous French artist who was a key part of the realism and impressionism art movements. Caillebotte was also an early example of photography becoming an art form in it's own right, which had not been done before at that time. Paris-born Caillebotte produced a host of famous paintings from a long and distinguished career, which lasted up until his death at the end of the 19th century. He was a prominent artist through the second half of the century.

Caillebotte's most famous oil paintings included Paris Street, Rainy Day, Jeune homme a la fenetre, (The Man at the Window), The Floor Scrapers, Le dejeuner, Portraits a la campagne, Le pont de l'Europe, Baigneur s'appretant a plonger, Les Perissoires, Les Perissoires, Pecheur au bord de l'Yerres, Dans un cafe and L'homme au balcon.

Caillebotte was also a great collector art too, and at his death left a great collection to the French government who have since installed it in major galleries across the country, most commonly in the Louvre, Paris. The collection itself included works by Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, and Edouard Manet.

To conclude on Gustave Caillebotte, he was a exceptional realism artist with a substantial portfolio of works covering the mid to late 19th century. He also played a role in the hugely popular rise of impressionism art as well. Whilst not as well known as artists from that movement such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro or indeed post-impressionists like Vincent Van Gogh and Edvard Munch, Caillebotte is still respected and remembered as an important artist who left a subtler legacy on the development of art at that time, particularly in Paris and across France.
