The Floor Scrapers – Gustave Caillebotte
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0518/5958/7227/files/stars.png?v=1655862982)
With his "Raboteurs de parquet", Gustave Caillebotte celebrated in 1875 the beauty of a subject little treated until then: the urban proletariat. It is an impressionnist oil on canvas of more than a meter wide, refused by the Parisian jurors of the Salon des Beaux-Arts because of its triviality. It shows three workers at work, one of them with a plane and the other two with scrapers.
