About this artwork
Portrait of Jules Richemont is an 1879 oil painting by the French artist Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894), a member and patron of the Impressionists who painted in a more realistic manner than many others in the group [1]. The work belongs to the genre of portraiture [3].
The artist: Caillebotte between Impressionism and realism
Caillebotte was known for his early interest in photography as an art form, and his most celebrated work, Paris Street; Rainy Day, is recognized for qualities such as its mise-en-scène presentation [1]. Because of his family's wealth, he acted as a patron of many of his fellow Impressionists, and upon his death his bequeathed collection of their works became the central collection of Impressionism for the French Republic, despite considerable controversy [1]. Although long regarded for his philanthropy and support as a patron and promoter of Impressionism, Caillebotte did not receive an international retrospective of his work until 1994, one hundred years after his death [1]. The Art Institute of Chicago acquired Paris Street; Rainy Day in 1964, and his work drew more attention in the 1970s [1]. In 2022, France successfully attained possession of Boating Party, known for its close-up action perspective, through a National treasure of France declaration process [1].
