About the Item

Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) "Theatre du Chatelet" watercolor and gouache on paper signed 'E Galien Laloue' lower left, within a giltwood and gesso carved frame and behind a protective glass. The finely painted gouache depicting a Parisian street scene of the Théâtre du Châtelet is a theatre and opera house, located along the quays of the river Seine in the place du Châtelet, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France. One of two theatres built on the site of a châtelet, a small castle or fortress, it was designed by Gabriel Davioud at the request of Baron Haussmann between 1860 and 1862. 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 populariser 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. A typical Galien-Laloue painting depicts sidewalks and avenues crowded with people or tourists mingling before the capital's monuments. He also painted the landscapes of Normandy and Seine-et-Marne, as well as military scenes he was commissioned to produce in 1914. The Republic of France selected Galien-Laloue to work as a 'war artist,' both during the Franco-Prussian War and World War I, chiefly in watercolor. Galien-Laloue was in exclusive contract with one gallery and used 6 other names: "L. Dupuy", "Juliany", "E. Galiany", "Lievin" "Dumoutier" and "P. Mattig". Measures: Gouache height 7 1/2 inches (19.1 cm) Gouache width 12 1/2 inches (31.8 cm) Frame height 14 1/8 inches (35.9 cm) Frame width 18 3/4 inches (47.6 cm) Frame depth 2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm).
