About

Exhibited with the Impressionists in 1876 the painting Young Man at His Window depicts artist Gustave Caillebotte’s brother René standing at a window in their family’s Paris mansion overlooking the streets below. In this illustrated talk exhibition co-curator Scott Allan outlines how this painting encapsulated Caillebotte’s artistic ambitions as a modern realist at the outset of his career. Allan will share unpublished photographs and archival information about the short-lived René providing a new and more complicated reading of one of Caillebotte’s most iconic and familiar images.
