Paris Street; Rainy Day
Gustave Caillebotte (1877)
Standing at the crossroads of French Impressionism and modernist realism, this monumental work chronicles the psychological experience of the newly redesigned nineteenth-century metropolis. Engineered with rigorous two-point perspective and bold photographic cropping, the composition bisects the canvas vertically to create cinematic tension between urban proximity and modern anonymity. Across the foreground, subtle tonal gradations of pearl-gray, ochre, and slate capture the exact optical diffusion of overcast light reflecting off rain-slicked stone.
Heavyweight natural cotton canvas printed with Paris Street; Rainy Day on one side and its museum wall plaque on the other. Built with reinforced straps for books, daily errands, or a trip to the gallery.

Why We Print on Both Sides
When you visit Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, half the magic of standing in front of Paris Street; Rainy Day (1877) is leaning in to read the wall label next to the frame. We wanted our pieces to capture that same experience. One side shows Gustave Caillebotte’s work in crisp detail, and the other side carries its museum wall plaque so the history behind the canvas is never lost.
Collector Reviews (4.9 / 5 • 25 Reviews)
“The color fidelity on Paris Street; Rainy Day is remarkable, and having the curatorial wall plaque from Art Institute of Chicago printed on the reverse makes it a genuine conversation piece.”
“Bought this for an art history colleague who adores Gustave Caillebotte. The print is crisp on both sides and the historical notes on the reverse are wonderfully researched.”
