About the Item
A fine signed and dated 1868 watercolour and pencil on laid paper depicting a bustling scene on Rue Galande in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, by Alfred-Alexandre Delauney. Excellent quality work by this notable etcher and painter who is said to have influenced Vincent van Gogh. Inscribed ''Rue Galande, Delauney 68'' lower right.
Rue Galande, an old Roman road which led to Lyon and Rome, has for a long time been one of the most beautiful streets in Paris. There you can still see a small sculpture from the 14th century, representing the legend of Saint-Julien l’Hospitalier. It is the oldest sign in Paris.
Artist: Alfred-Alexandre Delauney (French, 1830-1894)
Title: Rue Galande
Medium: Watercolour and pencil on laid paper
Size: 19 x 14 inches (48 x 35 cm) including the frame
Born on 13 July 1830 at Gouville in Normandy, Alfred-Alexandre Delauney went to Paris in 1842 at the age of twelve to work as an assistant to an elderly uncle named Salmon, his mother's brother, who was a print-seller. Salmon had a shop at 39, Rue de Seine, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris near the Louvre, called Librairie des Beaux-Arts, which in 1850 he transferred to his nephew.
Delauney is considered a notable etcher as well as a painter. Jean-François Millet was one of the artists whose paintings were etched by Delauney, and one such etching, L'Hiver aux corbeaux (1862), has been noted as an inspiration to Vincent van Gogh. A collection of Delauney's etchings was published in Eaux-Fortes sur le vieux Paris, twenty-four plates dating between 1870 and 1878.
Alfred Delauney married Elise Charlotte-Eulallie Varin, the daughter of Pierre-Amédée Varin (1818–1883), another notable engraver. They had two children, Marthe Delauney, Jean Delauney. He died at Nanteuil-sur-Marne on 25 June 1894.
