Gustave Caillebotte
View of Rooftops (Snow Effect)
From $100
This painting is bright water, deep shade and slim wooden boats, and a dull copy loses the sparkle on the river. Our Caillebotte Boating on the Yerres print was graded beside the original so the water still glitters and the greens stay fresh.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
18x12 inch, 24x16 inch, 30x20 inch, 36x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its wide shape suits a living room, a lake house or the wall above a sofa. The greens and blues look fresh with white, sage and natural wood, and a natural or white frame suits it.
About the painting
Boating on the Yerres by Gustave Caillebotte
Yerres, 1877
The Caillebotte family estate lay on the river Yerres, and in 1877 and 1878 Gustave painted seven boating scenes there. This is one of the earliest and largest.
Three skiffs
Three slim, sporty boats, almost like kayaks, glide downstream. The river opens out in a wedge from the top right, and the lead boat cuts an arrowhead of light into the shadow of a big tree.
Impressionism
It is also called Skiffs. It belongs to the Milwaukee Art Museum, which once put it up as its stake in a friendly Super Bowl bet with the Carnegie Museum of Art.
Read the story
This painting was once part of a Super Bowl bet.
The Caillebotte family estate lay on the river Yerres, and in 1877 and 1878 Gustave Caillebotte painted seven boating scenes there.
This is one of the earliest, and one of the largest.
Caillebotte had trained as a lawyer before he turned to painting, and from 1877 he helped fund the Impressionist shows.
Three slim, sporty boats, almost like kayaks, glide downstream.
The river opens out in a wedge, and the lead boat cuts an arrowhead of light into the shadow of a big tree.
It's also called Skiffs, Périssoires in French. It belongs to the Milwaukee Art Museum.
And when the Green Bay Packers played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl forty-five, the Milwaukee and Pittsburgh museums made a friendly wager, and this was Milwaukee's stake.
Look at the lead boat, and then at the light on the water.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
