Narrow lanes gave way to wide boulevards and pale limestone facades. Caillebotte painted that new city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis view shows a junction near today's Place de Dublin, close to his own home. A green lamppost splits the canvas in half. Wet cobblestones shine under a gray sky. Any Paris street scene brooch has a lot to live up to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Couple Under the Umbrella\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe man wears a top hat, an open overcoat and a cravat. The woman wears a brown wool gown, a fur toque and a veil. Both stare past the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt historian Mary Morton reads them as proper and a little entitled. Caillebotte cut them off at the knees, so they seem about to walk out of the frame. The Caillebotte umbrella pin keeps that sense of motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImpressionist Art Jewelry With a Sharp Eye\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original is nearly 7 ft tall and 9 ft wide. Most Impressionists used loose, flickering brushwork. Caillebotte stayed sharp and exact, with strict perspective. Impressionist art jewelry is usually soft and floral, so this Caillebotte brooch is a change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing and Display\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePin the Caillebotte umbrella pin to a raincoat, a wool blazer or a hat band. The pewter is light, but thick fabric holds it best. Wipe it dry after a wet day.
