Close to the Impressionists and the Realists, Gustave Caillebotte stands out for his absolute modernity. He takes his immediate environment as his subject: Hausmann's Paris, the men around him, regattas and rowing, his own life. Thus he introduces new figures into painting: the worker, the sportsman, the naked man in his intimacy. The painter thus questions the dominant social and sexual order of the 19th century, and through his paintings, carries a profound interrogation on the male condition.
