Eugène Galien-Laloue – 1920

Wikipedia:


Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854–1941) was a French artist of French-Italian parents and was born in Paris on December 11, 1854. He was a popularizer of street scenes, usually painted in autumn or winter.


His paintings of the early 1900s accurately represent the era in which he lived: a happy, bustling Paris, la Belle Époque, with horse-drawn carriages, trolley cars and its first omnibuses. Galien-Laloue’s works are valued not only for their contribution to 20th-century art, but for the actual history, which they document. His work can be seen at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Louvier; Musée des Beaux-Arts, La Rochelle; Mulhouse, France.

We go from old English landscapes to Paris, before, during, and ‘between the wars’- another lost time, and a lost people, after sacrificing the flower of their young manhood during the Great War.
