the floor scrapers gustave caillebotte

the floor scrapers gustave caillebotteWith his "Raboteurs de parquet", Gustave Caillebotte celebrated in 1875 the beauty of a subject little treated until then: the urban proletariat. It is an impressionnist oil on canvas of more than a meter wide, refused by the Parisian jurors of the Salon des Beaux Arts because of its triviality. It shows three workers at work, one of them with a plane and the other two with scrapers.
