Thanks for posting the Caillebotte, one of my favorite paintings at the Chicago Art Institute. It’s a huge painting and you’re drawn into the Paris street scene.

Jeez, how did I miss that one?

Back in elementary school we had a large painting hanging in the main hallway. It was, as I later found, a reproduction of a much larger well-known painting; namely, Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. A few years later, in college, I visited the gallery where hangs the original.

I did so again (after many years) last summer. But I missed the Caillebotte.
