Villas at Trouville

1884

Gustave Caillebotte's 'Villas at Trouville' (c. 1880–1884) depicts the seaside villas of the fashionable Normandy resort Trouville beneath a bright, breezy sky. Caillebotte — best known for his structured Parisian streetscapes — here loosens his style toward a freer Impressionism, capturing the weekend leisure culture that the new railway had made accessible to the Parisian middle class. The canvas is in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
