For every Floor Scrapers there are ten forgettable pieces. The two shown are a perfect example. The second piece shown is one of his better examples. The first is just OK.

I am very familiar with his work, but thanks for posting this beautiful entry with the bottom photo which I had never seen. I've had the good fortune to view many of his incredible paintings up close. Caillebotte is one of my all-time favorite painters.

I must go and reread your previous post. He was also a very keen gardener and another of the paintings I like a lot is of his kitchen garden. I wish I could see this exhibition!
