Gustave Caillebott's paintings are seen to be a radical, very modern, photography-like depictions that provide insight into the close relationship between photography and painting.The unusual perspectives resulting from the way, Caillebotte framed his windows on the world anticipate a photographic view which would only gradually evolve in that medium.
Gustave Caillebotte, Parkettschleifer, 1875,
