Meanwhile, in the life of Gustave Caillebotte
The whole lifeearly 1890s
A slowdown: he stops painting large canvases
His painting career slowed dramatically in the early 1890s, when he stopped working on large canvases; he turned increasingly to en plein air landscapes, especially river scenes, and to floral still lifes.
1894
A will leaving 68 Impressionist paintings to the state
At the time of his death the Impressionists were still largely condemned by the art establishment, so Caillebotte bequeathed to the state a collection of 68 paintings by Pissarro, Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Degas, Cézanne and Manet, stipulating that it be displayed in the Luxembourg Palace and then in the Louvre rather than vanish into “attics” and provincial museums.
