Gustave Caillebotte- The Unknown Impressionist with Stéphanie Chardeau-Botteri

Join us for an art talk uncovering the life and legacy of “Gustave Caillebotte: The Unknown Impressionist”. Presented at Bassam Freiha Art Foundation in collaboration with The Art Circle, and led by Stéphanie Chardeau-Botteri, great-grandniece of the artist.

 

Through a rich narrative grounded in family archives, the talk offers a rare glimpse into the multifaceted life of Gustave Caillebotte—an accomplished painter, patron of the Impressionists, collector, horticulturist, and visionary. Once celebrated in his time, Caillebotte’s legacy gradually faded, earning him the title of the “unknown Impressionist.” This lecture traces his journey and contributions to the world of art, revealing why his influence remains essential to the history of Impressionism.
