First shown at the Third Impressionist Exhibition in 1877, Gustave Caillebotte’s Paris Street, Rainy Day (Rue de Paris, temps de pluie) stands as the definitive visual monument of Baron Haussmann’s newly modernized Paris. Set at the intersection of the Place de Dublin in the 8th arrondissement, Caillebotte utilized a startling, photographic perspective and life-sized foreground figures to place the viewer directly onto the rain-slicked pavement. The subtle grey-blue atmosphere, soft reflections bouncing off stone facades, and meticulous linear precision seamlessly unite Impressionist light effects with monumental classical composition.
