1874: Caillebotte participates in the planning of the first exhibition of the Impressionist group with Degas, Monet, and Renoir, which takes place in the same year in Paris. On 25 December his father dies and leaves the family, in addition to a large sum of money, several tenements, estates, bonds, and fixed income. Caillebotte’s mother retains the estate in Yerres, where Caillebotte painted numerous landscapes until 1879.
1876: In this and the following years (1877, 1879, 1880, and 1892) Caillebotte finances and organises Impressionist exhibitions. In autumn his younger brother René Caillebotte dies at the age of twenty-five, after which the artist wrote his first will.

1894: Caillebotte dies on 21 February at the age of forty-five due to a stroke he suffered while working on a landscape painting in his garden at Petit Gennevilliers.
Impression, Sunrise was the prescient title of one of Claude Monet’s paintings shown in 1874 in the first exhibition of the Impressionists, or as they called themselves then, the Société anonyme des artistes, peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs (The Anonymous Society of Artists, Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers). Monet had gone painting in his childhood home town of Le Havre to prepare for the event, eventually selecting his best Le Havre landscapes for display. Edmond Renoir, journalist brother of Renoir the painter, compiled the catalogue. He criticised Monet for the uniform titles of his works, for the painter had not come up with anything more interesting than View of Le Havre. Among these Le Havre landscapes was a canvas painted in the early morning depicting a blue fog that seemed to transform the shapes of yachts into ghostly apparitions. The painting also depicted smaller boats gliding over the water in black silhouette, and above the horizon the flat, orange disk of the sun, its first rays casting an orange path across the sea. It was more like a rapid study than a painting, a spontaneous sketch done in oils – what better way to seize the fleeting moment when sea and sky coalesce before the blinding light of day?
