Sul dipinto
After inheriting a family fortune in 1874, Caillebotte set about teaching himself painting primarily in the Realist manner. In that year he also befriended Edgar Degas. The present picture recalls his initial interest in the most celebrated landscape painter of the day, Camille Corot. Caillebotte made his debut in the second Impressionist exhibition in 1876, showing eight paintings. His late works exhibit the strong influence of Impressionism. Mia’s Nude on a Couch is arguably his masterwork in that later style.

Nella vita di Gustave Caillebotte
Tutta la vita1874
His father’s death: an inheritance that frees him from need
After his father died in 1874 Caillebotte inherited a considerable fortune that allowed him to paint without having to sell his work.
c. 1874
Meeting Degas and De Nittis
Around 1874 Caillebotte met and befriended several artists working outside the Académie des Beaux-Arts, among them Edgar Degas and Giuseppe de Nittis.

Takes charge of the Third Impressionist Exhibition
By the Third Impressionist Exhibition in 1877 Caillebotte had assumed the leadership role: he secured rental space, selected artists and works and hung the paintings. His involvement eventually declined, but in the end he showed works in five of the eight Impressionist exhibitions.

The Fourth Impressionist Exhibition: 35 works on water and leisure
In 1879 Caillebotte submitted 35 paintings and pastels on water sports, boating and riverside leisure; “Oarsman in a Top Hat” (Boating Party) was considered one of the best of them, and the show is described as the most important exhibition of his works during his lifetime.
