More about this artwork

Gustave Caillebotte's "Young Man at His Window" captivates viewers with its unique perspective and keen exploration of urban isolation. Painted in 1876, this masterpiece features a young man, viewed from behind, as he gazes out of a window overlooking a bustling Parisian street. The viewer's position is inside an opulently decorated room, subtly emphasized by the detailed rendering of a warm, red cushioned chair and the floral-patterned carpet.The balcony opens to a view of Paris's quintessential stone buildings, bordered by trees and speckled with sunlight, creating a scene filled with serene beauty. Yet, the figure's stance and the room’s intimacy against the wide urban exterior evoke a poignant contrast between private and public spheres. Caillebotte’s detailed focus on the textures—from the glimmering window frame to the intricate iron balcony railing—adds a tactile realism to the work.

Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894) was a French painter who combined impressionist and academic styles in his artworks. Despite the fact that he is considered a great impressionist artist today, his posthumous reputation was not as significant. Most of his paintings were kept by his family and not exhibited nor reproduced until the late 20th century. His artworks depict scenes from Parisian streets, modern urban environments, as well as rural country scenes and flowers.
