# Paris Street; Rainy Day, in Impressionism

Gustave Caillebotte painted this in 1877, aged 29. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.

From the museum's label:

> Considered Caillebotte’s masterpiece, this view of a busy intersection captures both an everyday moment and all that was new in a rapidly changing Paris. The clothes are the latest fashion. The retractable umbrella was just invented.

_Text from the Art Institute of Chicago._
