About this work
Born into a Parisian upper middle-class family, Gustave Caillebotte was attracted to the innovations of the young artists who became known as the Impressionists. He officially joined the group for their second exhibition, in April 1876, and then organized the exhibition of 1877, where he showed Paris Street; Rainy Day, his masterpiece.
