Gustave Caillebotte Biography
Gustave Caillebotte, Aug. 19,
1848 - Feb. 21, 1894, was a French painter and a generous patron of
the impressionists, whose own works, until recently, were neglected.
He was an engineer by profession,
but also attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He met Edgar
Degas, Claude Monet, and Pierre Auguste Renoir in 1874 and helped
organize the first impressionist exhibition in Paris that same year.
He participated in later shows and painted some 500 works in a more
realistic style than that of his friends. Caillebotte's most intriguing
paintings are those of the broad, new Parisian boulevards. The boulevards
were painted from high vantage points and were populated with elegantly
clad figures strolling with the expressionless intensity of somnambulists,
as in Boulevard Vu d'en Haut (1880; private collection, Paris). Caillebotte's
superb collection of impressionist paintings was left to the French
government on his death. With considerable reluctance the government
accepted part of the collection.
