1872 (ca.), Gustave Caillebotte, Banks of a Canal, near Naples -- National Gallery of Ireland (Dublin)
From the museum label: Caillebotte exhibited with the Impressionists and was also an important patron of Impressionist art. He painted this picture during a visit to Italy. It depicts a canal extending into the distance of a flat landscape. The horizon line is dotted with the forms of buildings and trees. Caillebotte's fascination with unusual viewpoints and spatial recession is evident in this early work. His preoccupation with perspective later found expression in large-scale paintings of Parisian boulevards and apartment interiors.
