"Le Boulevard Péreire à Paris" Gouache painting on paper, signed lower left. Size: 29 x 46,5 cm Provenance: Fulchiron estate, Monte-Carlo. A true specialist in pseudonyms, he used many of them, such as Liévin, J. Liévin, Eugène Dupuy, Louis Dupuy, Galiany, M. Lenoir, L. Courtreu, A. Garnier, S. Karamngie, E. Juliani or Languillons, even if a large part of his oil paintings are signed "L.Dupuy". If he is especially famous for his views of Paris, he is also the author of genre scenes, landscapes, animated landscapes, urban landscapes and numerous gouaches and watercolours. It is said that he was a pupil of Charles Laloue, of whom there is no trace. A particularly gifted painter, Galien-Laloue exhibited for the first time in Paris in 1877 at the Salon des Artistes Français. He painted landscapes of Normandy, Seine-et-Marne, Marseille, Italy and Venice, starting in the Barbizon style and then moving towards Impressionism. During his lifetime, he enjoyed a great reputation, particularly in representing the atmosphere of Paris in the 1900s. He will also be the author of military representations at the request of the French State in 1914. Main Museums : Louviers, Mulhouse or La Rochelle.
