CAILLEBOTTE Gustave
Born in 1848.
Died in 1894.
A French Impressionist painter who was trained as an engineer but also
studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and painted in his free time.
He became a friend and patron of Monet and Renoir in 1874 and helped
organize the Impressionists' later exhibitions, in which he also showed his
own work. His paintings were placid Impressionist treatments of landscape
scenes which displayed little of the virtuosity of Monet and Renoir.
