Paris Street; Rainy Day, 1877

Gustave Caillebotte

Oil on canvas

Umbrella-carrying Parisians cross a wet, geometrically precise boulevard.

Parisians share umbrellas across a wet, gleaming boulevard in Caillebotte's huge 1877 canvas. Its bold cropping and photographic realism capture the cool elegance of the modern, rebuilt city — an unmistakable image of nineteenth-century Paris.
