Caroline C. Burnett (c. 1877–1950) was an American-born painter best known for her Impressionist oil paintings of Paris street scenes created around the turn of the 20th century. She moved to Paris in her early career, became a member of the Société des Beaux‑Arts, and exhibited with the Société Nationale des Beaux‑Arts in 1898 — establishing herself among the community of expatriate artists active in Belle Époque Paris. Her works typically depict romanticised views of Parisian boulevards, cafés, monuments, and everyday city life — rendered with soft brushwork, atmospheric light, and a sense of wistful charm. Although her paintings were once aimed at the tourist and decorative market, interest has resurged in recent years, and her signed oil canvases remain popular among collectors for their nostalgic evocation of early 20th‑century Paris.
