More than any other French Impressionist, painter Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) observed and depicted the many men in his life and they feature prominently in some of his best-known works. This volume explores, for the first time, the originality of Caillebotte's paintings of men and the varied facets of his own identity.

"This richly illustrated volume paints a complex portrait of Caillebotte, masculinity, and identity in late nineteenth-century France"--
