Caillebotte geocoded


Meaux. Effect of Sunlight on the Old Chapterhouse
painting by Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894). More than virtually any other painter, Caillebotte distributed his efforts between figure studies, urban scenes, pastorals, interiors, and still life, always finding elegance in the most ordinary of everyday activities. In the shadow (literally) of the great cathedral, the artist captures a more humble but quite noble structure. This rendering, a study of the early morning light, and the inclusion of the sheds, since removed, give the place a more common touch than it has today after renovation.
