Panoramic Landscape — Caillebotte | Postcard Zolota Ptakha

Caillebotte often climbed to a high vantage — balcony, ridge, hillside — to compress the suburbs of Paris into one long horizontal sweep. The valley falls away into trees, then into a thin band of villas and fields, then into pale sky — a card for travellers, walkers and readers who like a landscape they can sit inside for a while.
