Deja Vu Some More: Hopper Department
While making my way through the catalogue for the Edward Hopper show at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts I came across a reproduction of this Caillebotte in Judith Barter's essay on Hopper's Nighthawks

Paris Street, Rainy Day, 1877/Gustave Caillebotte — The Art Institute of Chicago
Barter cites the Caillebotte to contrast the position of the viewer — that means you — in that painting and in Nighthawks. But what struck me for the first time was that the structure of Caillebotte's famous canvas — a vertical divide with plunging space on the left side and a foregrounded figure on the right — may have been appropriated by Hopper for one of his own best known works.
