Gustave Caillebotte 1848 - 1894
An engineer by profession Caillebotte attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris
where he met Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Pierre Auguste Renoir. In 1874 he
helped organize the first impressionist exhibition in Paris. He participated in
later shows and painted some 500 works in a more realistic style than that of
his friends. His most intriguing paintings are those of the broad, new Parisian
boulevards. Paris, A Rainy Day depicts an area of the Batignolles quarter. The
original large (83 1/2 x 108 3/4") oil on canvas is part of the Charles H and
Mary F. Worcester Fund at The Art Institute of Chicago. It was painted in 1877.
