Gustave Caillebotte | Linge séchant, Petit Gennevilliers, 1888

Looking at "Linge séchant, Petit Gennevilliers" one almost feels the fresh breeze causing the white shirts on the clothesline to billow, flap and flutter like loose sails.

This airy picture is one of five works Caillebotte devoted to the motif of laundry drying on the line between 1888-892, while residing at his retreat in Petit Gennevilliers, a bucolic hamlet, half an hour by train away from central Paris.

Caillebotte and his brother Martial had purchased the property in 1881, after selling the family estate in Yerres, which had inspired many of Caillebottes’ earlier works.

Cesar Pattein | Wheat / Il grano, 1891

Born in Steenvoorde, in northern France, César Pattein was raised among farmers and maintained a close connection to the rural region throughout his life.

He seldom traveled much further than Lille, with the occasional journey to Paris when exhibiting at the Salon.

Constant Troyon | Pittore della scuola di Barbizon

TROYON, Constant - Pittore, nato a Sèvres il 28 agosto 1810, morto a Parigi il 20 marzo 1865.

Figlio di un decoratore della manifattura di Sèvres, e desiderando entrarvi anch'egli come pittore di fiori, cominciò a dipingere bozzetti dal vero, prendendo gusto al paesaggio.

Nel 1833 espose opere ispirate ai sobborghi in cui viveva: La Fête de Sèvres; Un coin du Parc de St.-Cloud, rivelandosi ancora legato alla maniera classica, pesante nelle ombre ed analitico.

I consigli di C. Roqueplan gli schiusero orizzonti più vasti; il Limousin e la Creuse l'ispirarono.
