Galerie Mont Sunflowers by the Seine – Gustave Caillebotte^ Caillebotte

Gustave Caillebotte’s Sunflowers by the Seine is a celebration of nature in the heart of the city. The flowers, the real protagonists, stand proudly in the foreground, their bright yellow petals standing out against the bluish background of the Seine. The artist plays with light, capturing the sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating a vivid contrast with the tranquil waters of the river.

This work is in the Impressionist tradition, Caillebotte’s aim being to capture the instantaneity of light and setting. There is neither the pomp of portraits nor the grandeur of landscapes here, but a simple, pure moment, where beauty is revealed in the everyday. It is a painting whose simplicity and freshness invite contemplation and serenity.
