Nantes Museum of Art

About

Once a thriving center of commerce and trade, this building has now become a space filled with the streets of Paris and boating scenes as seen through Caillebotte's eyes. The moment light flows along the glass ceiling, the streets in his paintings seem to stop the visitor in their tracks. The time that has passed through in his works fills the air of this place, offering a feeling of walking alongside the figures in the paintings. Colors flowing like the waves of a boating scene run down the walls, and the light within the paintings still illuminates this place today. The streets of Paris and the boating scenes that Caillebotte painted fill this space, drawing visitors into his gaze.
