Gustave Caillebotte “Paris Street; Rainy Day” The Art Institute of Chicago Mug

This elegant Art Institute of Chicago mug showcases Gustave Caillebotte’s celebrated 1877 masterpiece Paris Street; Rainy Day, one of the most iconic works of 19th-century French Impressionism. Wrapped in soft powder-blue framing, the mug presents beautifully reproduced sections of the painting, from the sharply dressed couple strolling beneath umbrellas to the atmospheric Parisian streets glistening with rain. Each panel captures Caillebotte’s precise perspective, refined color palette, and the quiet drama of a rainy afternoon in Haussmann’s Paris.

The handle features Caillebotte’s bold signature, adding an authentic artistic touch that makes this mug feel like a museum piece brought to life. Its glossy white interior and exterior offer a clean, classic foundation that allows the artwork to take center stage. The bottom includes full museum attribution, listing Caillebotte’s dates, the artwork’s title, its original dimensions, and collection details from the Art Institute of Chicago.

Perfect for art lovers, museum-goers, and collectors of fine-art drinkware, this mug transforms your daily coffee or tea ritual into a moment of elegance and culture. A refined tribute to one of the great Impressionist masterpieces, it brings the charm and sophistication of Paris straight to your cupboard.
