Gustave Caillebotte (1848 - 1894)
Gustave Caillebotte, whose personal works were forgotten until recently, was all together a recognized painter and a generous patron of the Impressionist movement.
He was born in 1848 in a very rich family which made its fortune in textiles industry then in real estate business as Baron Haussmann was rebuilding Paris.
Engineer by profession, but also former student of the Fine Arts School of Paris where he studied with L¨¦on Bonnat, he met Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Pierre Auguste Renoir in 1874 and helped them organize their 1st group exhibition in Paris this same year.
In 1873, he inherits the great fortune of his father and will be financially independent for the rest of his life.
In 1875, as he wishes to make his public beginnings as a painter, he submitted a work to the Official Salon which was refused, thus encouraging him to exhibit in 1876, with the aid of Renoir, at the second exhibition of the Impressionist group. His works and in particular the "The floor scrapers " were noticed and appreciated. Consequently he will take part in the subsequent exhibitions of the Impressionist Group.
Caillebotte was rich and generous and will financially help throughout his lifetime his Impressionist friends by buying at high prices their works and by supporting the expenses of their exhibitions. He will be a co-organizer and co-financier of the 3th, 4th, 5th and 7th Impressionist exhibitions, in which he will take part.
In 1881, he buys a house with garden in Petit-Gennevilliers where he will create a number of his works. Highly skilled horticulturist, he corresponds with Monet at Giverny and creates orchises in his greenhouses.
Character with multiple facets, Caillebotte also was a racing yachtsman who had a passion for speed and seeked to improve his boats. Naval architec, he draws and builds his boats in a workshop located on SNECMA's present site. There he will create true thorough-breds of the river, with multiple innovations (silk veil, external ballast, aerodynamic hulls, etc.) with which he will gain many international titles.
