Caillebotte is the man. A super rich guy who helped out a lot of struggling Impressionists, including Monet, he produced some pretty sweet works on his own. Most people are familiar with Paris Street, Rainy Day (a painting in which no rain is falling, and no one is looking at anyone else) but I enjoy his series of floor-scrapers. Also good is his portrait of his brother Rene looking out the window.
