Other impressionists, especially Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas, favored the theme of the café, though they generally depicted the women seen there. Gustave Caillebotte instead inserted a male subject, a recurring substitution in his oeuvre.

Stanley Meisler, writing in the “Los Angeles Times:”

"In the late 19th century, everyone looked on Gustave Caillebotte as a leading painter of the Impressionists. He took part in five of the eight exhibitions that the Impressionists mounted. In fact, he organized and helped finance several of the shows. One displayed more than 25 of his paintings; another greeted visitors in the opening room with his stunning depictions of the new Paris. Caillebotte, a wealthy man, also purchased many paintings by his colleagues. He continually loaned money to an impoverished Claude Monet and paid the rent for his studio."

Our beloved painting “On the Pont de l’Europe,” by Gustave Caillebotte, depicts the bridge overlooking the historic Saint-Lazare train station. However, this summer, the painting will overlook our nation’s capital as it travels to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as a part of the exhibition “Gustave Caillebotte: The Painter’s Eye.” The exhibition will then come to Fort Worth in November.
