The artwork in a nutshell
In Painters in buildings, Gustave Caillebotte focuses on the hardworking life of Parisian factory workers. The image captures two men at work, one perched on a ladder, paintbrush in hand, the other observing attentively, offering a snapshot of everyday working life. The work exudes a city atmosphere, with its aligned facades and the street stretching out in perspective, imbued with a sense of calm.
Here, Caillebotte illustrates an ordinary moment with remarkable dignity, typical of his realistic approach. The painting is in the genre of genre scenes, and is distinguished by its balanced composition, in which every element - from the cobblestones of the street to the wooden shutters being refreshed by the painters - is rendered with precision. It is a painting that, while reflecting the Impressionist tendencies of its time, honours manual labour and the simplicity of life.
