Impressionist Masterpiece:Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte. Professionally Framed Picture. Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894). The original is one of the most famous picture at the wonderful Chicago Museum of Art. This print was created by Graphique De France, printed in France, 1992. I bought the print at the Chicago Art Museum and then had it professionally framed. Dimensions: 26"x 20 1/2"Gustave Caillebotte was a French painter, member and patron of the group of artists known as Impressionists, though he painted in a much more realistic manner than many other artists in the group.Gustave Caillebotte (French pronunciation: [ɡystav kajbɔt]; 19 August 1848 -- 21 February 1894) was a French painter, member and patron of the group of artists known as Impressionists, though he painted in a much more realistic manner than many other artists in the group. Caillebotte was noted for his early interest in photography as an art form.For many years, Caillebotte's reputation as a painter was superseded by his reputation as a supporter of the arts. Caillebotte's sizable allowance, along with the inheritance he received after the death of his father in 1874 and his mother in 1878, allowed him to paint without the pressure to sell his work. It also allowed him to help fund Impressionist exhibitions and support his fellow artists and friends (including Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro among others) by purchasing their works and, at least in the case of Monet, paying the rent for their studios.Seventy years after his death, however, art historians began reevaluating his artistic contributions. His striking use of varying perspective is particularly admirable and sets him apart from his peers who may have exceeded him in other artistic areas. His art was largely forgotten until the 1950s when his descendents began to sell the family collection. In 1964, The Art Institute of Chicago acquired Paris Street; Rainy Day, spurring American interest in the artist. By the 1970s, his works were being exhibited again and critically reassessed.I live in Las Vegas near the intersection of Rainbow and Vegas drive.
