Eugène Lami (1800-1890)

Magnificently restored, the Duc d'Aumale's apartment in Chantilly, decorated by Eugène Lami, reminds us that the eclecticism of the Second Empire was born under the July Monarchy.

The painting depicts writer Alfred de Musset and artist Eugène Delacroix gathered together in a Parisian salon. The restored painting – acquired by the Louvre – is set to enrich the Delacroix Museum’s collection, representing its first work by Eugène Lami and one of the rare portraits of the Delacroix himself.

Musée Condé at the Domaine de Chantilly announced the discovery of the unseen work by painter, watercolorist, lithographer, illustrator and designer Eugène Lami. Measuring 14ft in dia, the painting was found rolled up in the basement of the chateau during a recent renovation project. (La Tribune d’Art)

Mathieu Deldicque, 35, who joined the museum in 2015, will head the 2nd largest collection of Old Master paintings in France (after the Louvre). He replaces Nicole Garnier who held the position for 30 years. Deldicque was responsible for the exhibitions on Eugène Lami, The Nude Mona Lisa and Albrecht Dürer.

Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) was deeply attached to religion and painted a range of Biblical subjects, like this dark and expressive Entombment of Christ.

This crystal and vermeil travel kit by Aucoc ended its journey with a preemption by the Château of Chantilly.

This collection, unprecedented on the market, was crafted by Eugène Printz in the 1930s for a villa in Casablanca and is part of a sale spotlighting 20th century decorative arts.

The interest of collectors is definitely not waning for the French cabinetmaker and decorator. This is reflected in the €2.46 million recorded by Arles Enchères on October 3, during the dispersal of a Provencal collection dedicated to him - a lineup designed with Jean Dunand flying off on this occasion at €620,000.

The gallery announced on its Instagram account its collaboration with the family of Eugène Dodeigne (1923-2015). The first exhibition in the Parisian space will coincide with the centenary of the birth of the French sculptor, to whom La Piscine de Roubaix dedicated its first French retrospective in 2021.

This work from Dr. Henri Faure's collection is only the central portion of a huge fresco created by Eugène B., aka "The chronically delusional patient", c. 1927-1933.
