Gustave Caillebotte, Paris Street; Rainy Day

I wish I was a better communicator whenever I hear these two. They have just the right blend of jumping in respectfully and letting the other have his say.

I absolutely love this painting. It's even the wallpaper on my laptop! It's so clear that I feel as if I'm looking out a café window in Paris watching the world go by.

What a great review of this beautiful painting. So glad I saw it as a child while growing up in Chicago at the Art Institute.

Your videos are very informative. Thanks for the detailed analysis!

Love this painting. Gustave and many paintings like Hopper helped me with my inspiration in photography. I just love the composition and the lighting that makes it feel realistic and cinematic.

Dr. Zucker's voice sounds like he was born for this lol

His work is incredible. Just saw his work at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Love Caillebotte! DeYoung in San Francisco years ago--and I just sat and stared.

Just amazing!! The loose brush strokes are NOT the main feature of Impressionist paintings, 1877.

[@TomR1934]

There is so much mote there that I might have missed!

This one reminds me of the board game "Masterpiece."

Thanks for this helpful video. There is another very large painting in the AGO collection by Tissot, I believe, of a women's accessories shop and, like Tissot, Caillebotte's subject matter speaks of the impressionists' fondness for the everyday rather than vacuous historical themes associated with typical salon artists of the day, fortunately all but forgotten. Caillebotte's studio finished canvases are far less radical in their transformation of form into light and textured brushstrokes. Rather he is essentially a salon painter with updated, contemporary themes. He bypasses the pantheon of impressionist genius by indulging in polished, facile surfaces regrettably more pre-Raphaelite in sensibility than impressionistic. At international auctions over the last seven decades, works of comparable size of a major Caillebotte and a major Monet or Renoir, or any of the other leading impressionist painters, would see a Caillebotte valued at perhaps a fifth or a sixth of a major impressionist work. Except for his impressionist themes he is all but a distant cousin to the astonishing achievements and magnificent radicalism of the leading impressionist painters of his era. What he lacks in visionary execution he pleases the eye with his somewhat antiquated and formulaic technique.

Gorgeous 😍😍

THERE IS A SMALLER VERSION OF THIS PAINTING ON THE WALL ABOVE THE BED IN MONET'S HOUSE IN GIVERNY. PROBABLY A GIFT FROM CAILLEBOTTE.

[@nickangelo5482]

Maybe someone can verify this! This viewpoint seems to be facing north east which would make the lighting and shadows not possible. Some creative license?

Count all the triangles.

[@3spressoShot]

nice info but the playful jumping off the wagon wheel is off imo. it doesn't look like that, I think the perspective is right here. just looks like a dude further away

[@jojovcpb3736]

You must be viewing it with a straight eye.

[@noradavid8275]

He remind me more of Degas and Manet

insane

eye opening - i was unfamiliar with Caillebotte - i'm ashamed to admit - but i won't be for long ps -- his Rainy Day was so good - i expected more of that quality - but i found most of his work rather dreary or boring
