Chestnut Trees in Bloom — Caillebotte | Postcard Zolota Ptakha

Caillebotte returned again and again to the moment when chestnut trees come into bloom along the broad sandy boulevards near Paris. White candle-blossoms, a gas lamp, a small kiosk and figures drifting through midday light: pure late-spring atmosphere, and a card to send when Paris is the city on your mind this year.
