Male subjects feature prominently in some of his best-known works, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Floor Scrapers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMan at His Bath\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYoung Man at His Window\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBoating Party\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eParis Street, Rainy Day\u003c\/i\u003e. The originality of his paintings of men is fully explored for the first time in this catalogue, published to accompany a major international exhibition co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Mus?e d'Orsay, and the Art Institute of Chicago. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Alongside paintings, drawings, and photographs, as well as an appendix featuring maps and new biographical research that sheds light on Caillebotte's social network, this volume includes historically grounded thematic essays by curators and leading scholars. By exploring the complex and varied facets of Caillebotte's identity--as son, brother, soldier, bachelor, \u003ci\u003eamateur\u003c\/i\u003e, sportsman, and so on--these essays pose questions of identity, leaving space for ambiguous and fluid expressions of gender and masculinity--for both Caillebotte and the larger late nineteenth-century French world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the Mus?e d'Orsay from October 8, 2024, to January 19, 2025, J.
