Les raboteurs de parquet

(

)

... that Gustave Caillebotte's 1875 painting Les raboteurs de parquet (pictured) was rejected by the Salon for its "vulgar subject matter"?

Date and length OK, hook OK and confirmed by online reference, image out of copyright. A minor point; should not the date of the painting be 1875, rather than 1876? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:43, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, yes, you are correct. I was thinking about the exhibition (in '76) when writing the hook, but the painting itself was made in '75. I corrected the hook. Cmprince (talk) 16:22, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

All fine now; thanks. (I've always been fascinated by this painting.) --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:51, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
