Gustave Caillebotte

Self-portrait of Gustave Caillebotte
ARTIST'S DETAILS
Full name: Gustave Caillebotte.
Nationality: France.
Year of birth: 1848, Paris.
Year of death: 1894, Gennevilliers, France.
Style: Realism, academism and impressionism.

French painter contemporary to the Impressionist movement and personal friend of Claude Monet, P. A. Renoir, and Camille Pissarro. Unlike them, he did not feel forced to sell his paintings, as he had inherited financial resources. This made his painting more sincere, thus developing a unique style, imbued with impressionism but tending towards realism. He focused on themes of melancholy, loneliness, nostalgia, and peaceful life.


Paintings by Caillebotte

Gustave Caillebotte's paintings are considered to have a unique style, very close to impressionism. The temperature of the colors is almost always on the edge between warm and cold, usually giving the feeling of a frosty environment, pierced by sun rays.

His compositions often offer a different point of view, either through the theme or the very perspective of the figures, a clear example is the first work presented in the list, where the point of observation is unreal and intimate at the same time, a product of the artist's imagination.
