Gustave Caillebotte: Painter And Patron Of The Impressionists

Exhibition at the Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin, 17 May - 15 September 2019

With its almost life-sized figures and unconventional perspective, the painting Paris Street, Rainy Day was presented in 1877 at the third Impressionist exhibition and is regarded as one of Gustave Caillebotte's principal works. The artist also helped to finance and organize the Impressionist exhibitions and attempted as a collector to establish the works in public collections

This exhibition catalogue describes the artist's personal interpretation of Impressionism, which convinces with its striking directness and bold image sections, as well as his activities as a patron of art.
