Eugéne Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) 'Place de la Republique' Signed, also inscribed on a plaque attached to the frame, Gouache heightened with white on tinted paper, 18.5cm x 29cm Provenance: Eugéne Galien-Laloue was born in Paris in 1854. He was mainly known for his impressionist portrayal of Parisian street scenes. In 1877 he was a student of Charles Laloue, a long-time member of the Artistes Français. During the early part of his career he used a number of pseudonyms to overcome an exclusive contract with a major gallery. These included L. Dupuy, J. Lievin and E. Galiany, all of which are listed in the catalogue raisonne. Galien-Laloue worked mainly in gouache with a light, expressive style. He depicted the Parisian street scenes of the early 1900's with an accuracy that reflected that iconic era. Indeed he was one of the first painters to historically represent these bustling streets and as such has been a great influence to a host of later artists, such as Edouard Cortès and Antoine Blanchard.

The Painter was an ardent admirer of Joseph Mallord William Turner, his first exhibit was at the Royal Academy in 1860, when he was aged just,15, during the next decade he was a pupil of the Pre-Raphaelite Painters Arthur Hughes and Ford Maddox Brown who introduced him to the Art Critic and Painter John Ruskin who took him on a trip to Italy, some of the drawings we are selling may relate to that tour in 1872. He travelled widely in Europe, India, Egypt, and the South Sea Islands. He studied the effects of light and atmosphere very carefully and Hardie wrote, 'he can be counted as one of those who have successfully dealt with twilight and sunset'. He experimented with methods of sponging and stippling and was one of the first to use a pen-line in combination with watercolour wash. Reynolds wrote 'he often reached a higher plane of poetry, with even a hint of mystery in his pictures'.
