1883
Meet Henri Cordier, looking like every student during finals week—head in hands, surrounded by books, deeply stressed or perhaps deeply focused. Gustave Caillebotte, who was actually the wealthy patron funding the Impressionist exhibitions, painted this scholar in 1883. Notice how the books on the shelf are just quick dashes of paint? That's the Impressionist style, but the heavy, solid feel of Cordier's grey suit shows Caillebotte's unique love for realism, making him the 'photographer' of the group compared to Monet's dreamy vibes.
