About Gustave Caillebotte

French Impressionist who painted the new Paris of Haussmann's boulevards with a cool precision and steep perspective that set him apart from the rest of the group. Independently wealthy, he helped organise and finance the Impressionist exhibitions and bought his colleagues' canvases when almost no one else would. The state accepted only part of the collection he left it, and that part entered the national collections in 1896, going on public view the following year as the first showing of Impressionism in a French museum. He died in 1894 at the age of 45, and his own painting was largely overlooked until the later 20th century.
