-The Parquet Planers-

[copperbadge]

Caillebotte's Floor Scrapers, one of my favorite paintings on the planet. When I look at it I think, I see the same beauty he saw. I didn't even know it was here. In person it's even better -- luminous and grey at the same time.

[ID: a painting of three men refinishing a wooden floor; they are kneeling, shirtless, and the gleam of their skin matches the floor's alternating matte and shine. Behind them is a window that lights them; to the right is a bottle of wine for breaks.]
