Le Parc Monceau — Gustave Caillebotte | Art Postcard

Le Parc Monceau puts us on a quiet, sun-warmed allée in Paris's most fashionable park — dappled green above a nearly empty path, two small figures the only sign of anyone else around, empty benches lining the edge.

Painted around 1877, it shows a gentler side of an artist better known for balconies and rooftops, with the same patient eye for how light falls through leaves.
