Sunflowers on the Banks of the Seine

Impressionism

The story

Three years before van Gogh got obsessed with sunflowers, Caillebotte was already putting them front and center. Not as decoration. As the subject.

He grew a garden at Petit Genevilliers that could go toe to toe with Monet's at Giverny, just a few miles down the same river.
