Biography: Eugène Galien-Laloue, also known under the pseudonyms Léon Dupuy, Eugène Dupuy, Juliany, Eugène Galiany, Jacques Liévin, Eugène Lemaitre, Maurice Lenoir, Dumoutier and A.Languinais, was a French painter born in Paris in 1854 and died in 1941. He was a pupil of Léon Germain Pelouse, painter of the Barbizon School, of which he was influenced but not part of it. In 1874, he lived in rue de Clignancourt, and was recruited by the Société française des chemins de fer to draw the route of the tracks from Paris to the provincial stations; he took the opportunity to paint the surrounding landscapes, then the districts of Paris, of which he produced a considerable number of gouaches, taking care to respect the layout of the perspective of the buildings. It varies the tone of the sky, the appearance of trees and lighting according to the seasons by animating the places of characters, particularly fond of the effects of wet sidewalks in rain or snow. His work is also closely linked to the landscapes of villages in the Ile-de-France countryside. In 1874, he stayed in Fontainebleau where he painted sunsets and sunrises, as well as scenes of backyards, farmyards in Samois-sur-Seine, in the company of Charles Jacque and Léon Dupuy, an artist who would not make a career, but whose name Eugène Galien-Laloue would take back as a pseudonym, giving him a second life to make him known to artistic circles. He worked at the Bateau-Lavoir, but his solitary nature does not match this place. He is fond of the landscapes of Normandy, Seine-et-Marne, Marseille, Italy and Venice. The pictorial production of this artist, under his name or pseudonym, was plethorical, and his commercial success attracted imitators whose pastiches are common on the art market.
