About this artwork

This complex intersection, simply minutes away from the Saint-Lazare train station, represents in microcosm the changing urban milieu of belatedly nineteenth-century Paris. Gustave Caillebotte grew upwardly near this district when it was a relatively unsettled hill with narrow, crooked streets. Every bit part of a new city program designed by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, these streets were relaid and their buildings razed during the creative person's lifetime. In this monumental urban view, which measures about seven by 10 anxiety and is considered the creative person's masterpiece, Caillebotte strikingly captured a vast, stark modernity, complete with life-size figures strolling in the foreground and wearing the latest fashions. The painting's highly crafted surface, rigorous perspective, and grand calibration pleased Parisian audiences accustomed to the academic aesthetic of the official Salon. On the other hand, its asymmetrical composition, unusually cropped forms, rain-done mood, and candidly contemporary subject stimulated a more radical sensibility. For these reasons, the painting dominated the celebrated Impressionist exhibition of 1877, largely organized past the creative person himself. In many ways, Caillebotte's frozen poetry of the Parisian suburbia prefigures Georges Seurat's luminous Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884, painted less than a decade later.
