Gustave Caillebotte was a 19th century French impressionist painter. He came from a wealthy family and so he did not need to paint to support himself. In fact, he retired from painting in his mid-30s to pursue his other interests. Along with his works, one of his major contributions to the impressionist movement was financially supporting a number of other painters including Monet, Degas, Renoir and others.
