- 5. A wintery afternoon ... The two main figures walk underneath an umbrella. They are dressed in the height of contemporary Parisian fashion. They are unambiguously middle class. In the background a maid in a doorway, a decorator carrying a ladder, one man appearing to jump from the wheel of a carriage, another pair of legs appear below the rim of an umbrella. Figures isolated, they appear to hurry rather, absorbed in their own thoughts. The umbrellas shield them "not just from the rain, but, also it seems, from other passers by". Gustave Caillebotte Rue de Paris, temps de pluie Paris Street, Rainy Day 1877 Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago
- 8. A busy Parisian street and umbrellas ... In the foreground six principal figures, a mother and her two daughters, each fashionably dressed in the styles of 1881, a female figure caught in the act of raising or lowering her umbrella, suggesting that the rain is about to start or stop; a milliner's assistant or modiste, with a hatbox, is without an umbrella, and a keen male figure next to her seems to have taken notice. Pierre-Auguste Renoir Les Parapluies The Umbrellas 1881-1886 The National Gallery, London
- 13. A typical Parisian theme ... A gentleman in a top hat, bored and lost in his thoughts, a sophisticated lady, decorated with a hat and feathers and a empty gaze. a waiter, standing, his only interest is the passers-by who remain anonymous and unrecognized in the frenetic hustle and bustle of the big city in the rain. Albert Weisgerber Pariser Café Café parisien 1906 Lenbachhaus, Munich
- 17. After a good rain ... most of the streets of Paris them would become muddy morasses. Some entrepreneurial lower-class Parisians would lay a plank across the mud, and charge a small fee to people (presumably mainly from the middle and upper classes, especially women). A family crossing the street over one of these plank bridges … the proprietor of the plank is at left, stretching out his arm for payment. Louis Léopold Boilly L'Averse ou Passez payez Passez Payez or Pay to Pass 1803-1804 Musée du Louvre, Paris
- 21. A sudden shower ... Three young women as three beautiful Graces sheltering from the rain under a leafy tree. Affluent young women dressed in fashionable, badminton players. Badminton was brought to England by British officers living in India in about 1873. It quickly became a popular game among the gentry, who played it in the fantastic gardens of their country houses and was a favourite with ladies and gentlemen alike. Charles Edward Perugini A Summer Shower Une douche d`été 1888 Ferens Art Gallery, Kingston upon Hull

- 31. The driving rain - slashing, slim strokes of coloured pastel … a huge expanse of turf five jockeys engaged in play in the midst of a rain shower. We do not know who the jockeys are – their faces are turned from us or are shadowed by their hats. The form of illustration of the rain is once more illustrative of the tremendous influence of Japanese woodblocks in 19th century Europe. Edgar Degas Jockeys sous la pluie Jockeys in the Rain 1880-1881 Burrell Collection, Glasgow
- 35. A gray, wet day ... a distant carriage, leafless trees, pedestrians, and and shining cobblestones in the weak light of a cloud-filled sky. Camille Pissarro Route de Versailles, Louveciennes, effet de pluie Route de Versailles, Louveciennes, Rain Effect 1870 Clark Art Institute, Williamstown
- 39. the promenade, umbrellas, people walking in the rain, a policeman with a cape, a man standing beside a horse and cart.

- 55. The distinctive sheen of rainwater on the street and kerb … under a grey sky a group of mourners leave the Montmartre cemetery … appear elegant in their black morning garb, the men in top hats and women in deep lace veils. The guard in the brightness of his uniform, the fashionably dressed woman with the pink bow in the hair and her fluffy white dog seem out of place in these surroundings. Jean Béraud Le retour de l'enterrement Leaving Montmartre Cemetery 1876 Private collection
- 59. The drizzle of a rainy day has emptied the Place de la Concorde of its usual bustle of people, carriages and cars ... imposing architecture, decorative streetlights, flags piercing the grey skies above and in the middle of this open space, as a magnet, the young Parisienne’s gaze at the viewer’s glance. the fashionable girl, elegantly adorned with crimson accessories to highlight the tinted lips, transforms the view of an urban space into the portrait of a resident in front of her property. The capital belongs to its city dwellers, and Béraud cannot portray the one without the other. Jean Béraud Parisienne un jour de pluie, place de la Concorde Parisian on a rainy day, place de la Concorde 1890 Private Collection
