A wealthy man, he could hardly be labeled a "starving artist," therefore his family housed most of his works, and consequently he did not become as well known as his artist friends and peers. When you see this wonderful collection you'll real­ ize that he is one of the art world's best kept secrets. Paris Street: Rainy Day (1877) is a keystone at the Art Institute and therefore widely recognized, but he also did florals, still lifes and country life as well as his more recognizable urban landscapes.
