Gustave Caillebotte (1848-94)
Ce tableau constitue une des premières représentations du prolétariat urbain. Si les paysans (Des glaneuses de Millet) ou les ouvriers des campagnes (Casseurs de pierres de Courbet) ont souvent été montrés, les ouvriers de la ville ont très rarement fait l'objet de tableaux. Contrairement à Courbet ou Millet, Caillebotte, bourgeois aisé, n'introduit aucun discours social, moralisateur ou politique dans son oeuvre. L'étude documentaire (gestes, outils, accessoires) le place parmi les réalistes les plus chevronnés.
Caillebotte a suivi une formation académique auprès de Bonnat, et la perspective accentuée par l'effet de plongée et l'alignement des lames de parquet est conforme à la tradition. L'artiste a dessiné une à une toutes les parties de son tableau, avant de les reporter au carreau sur la toile. Le torse nu des raboteurs est celui de héros antiques. Mais loin de s'enfermer dans ces exercices académiques, Caillebotte en exploite la rigueur afin d'explorer l'univers contemporain de manière inédite.
Présenté au Salon de 1875, le tableau est refusé par le Jury, sans doute choqué par ce réalisme cru (certains critiques ont parlé de "sujet vulgaire"). Le jeune peintre décide alors de se joindre aux impressionnistes et présente son tableau à la seconde exposition du groupe en 1876 où Degas expose ses premières Repasseuses. Les critiques sont impressionnés par cette grande page moderne, Zola notamment qui condamne cependant cette "peinture bourgeoise à force d'exactitude".

Gustave Caillebotte (1848-94)
This painting is one of the first representations of urban proletariat. Whereas peasants (Gleaners by Millet) or country workers (Stone Breakers by Courbet) had often been shown, city workers had seldom been painted. Unlike Courbet or Millet, Caillebotte does not incorporate any social, moralising or political message in his work. His thorough documentary study (gestures, tools, accessories) justifies his position among the most accomplished realists.
Caillebotte had undergone a completely academic training, studying with Bonnat. The perspective, accentuated by the high angle shot and the alignment of floorboards complies with tradition. The artist drew one by one all the parts of his painting, according to the academic method, before reporting them using the square method on the canvas. The nude torsos of the planers are those of heroes of Antiquity, it would be unimaginable for Parisian workers of those times. But far from closeting himself in academic exercises, Caillebotte exploited their rigour in order to explore the contemporary universe in a completely new way.
Caillebotte presented his painting at the 1875 Salon. The Jury, no doubt shocked by its crude realism, rejected it (some critics talked of "vulgar subject matter"). The young painter then decided to join the impressionists and presented his painting at the second exhibition of the group in 1876, where Degas exhibited his first Ironers. Critics were struck by this great modern tableau, Zola, in particular, although he condemned this "painting that is so accurate that it makes it bourgeois".
