His father, the theater decorator Charles Laloue, married Marie Eudoxie Lambert in Paris at Batignolles on December 29, 1853. Eugène Gallien-Laloue was born on December 11 of the following year in Montmartre, on Rue Léonie. He was baptized the following January in the parish of Saint-Pierre de Montmartre. He was a student of Léon Germain Pelouse (1838–1891), a painter from the Barbizon School, whose influence he experienced, but without being a direct member of that group. After his father's death in 1870, Eugène had to leave school and find work, being the eldest of nine boys. His mother placed him with a notary. By lying about his age, he enlisted to fight in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. In 1874, he lived on Rue de Clignancourt and was recruited by the Société Française des Chemins de fer (French Railway Company) to draw the railway routes from Paris to provincial train stations. He took advantage of this work to paint the surrounding landscapes and later the districts of Paris, producing a significant number of gouaches while carefully respecting the perspective of buildings. He varied the tone of the sky, the appearance of trees, and lighting according to the seasons, often animating scenes with people, particularly enjoying the effects of wet sidewalks in the rain or snow. His work is also closely tied to the landscapes of small villages in the Île-de-France region. In 1874, he stayed in Fontainebleau where he painted sunsets and sunrises, as well as scenes of farmyards and courtyards in Samois-sur-Seine, in the company of Charles Jacque and Léon Dupuy, an artist who would not have a successful career but whose name Eugène Galien-Laloue would later adopt as a pseudonym, giving it new life and recognition in artistic circles. On Montmartre Hill, he painted La Foire de Montmartre (The Montmartre Fair), Place Pigalle, and the construction site of the Sacré-Cœur. He used numerous pseudonyms, the most common being L Dupuy, Kerminguy, Lenoir, Galieny, and Lievin. In 1879, he married Flore Bardin (1861–1887), who gave birth to a son, Fernand, on July 3, 1880. In 1892, he married for the second time to Ernestine Bardin, his first wife's sister, who gave birth to a daughter, Flore Marie Agnès, on February 4, 1893. That same year, he worked at the Bateau-Lavoir, but his solitary nature did not suit that environment. When World War I was declared, he was not drafted due to his voluntary enlistment in 1870 and his age, but he created numerous drawings and watercolors depicting military scenes in 1914. His daughter left the family home after her marriage in 1919. Ernestine Bardin died in 1925. He then married Claire Bardin, the third sister of his previous wives, in 1930. Widowed again in 1933, he moved into his daughter Flore’s home in 1935. In 1940, he left for exile in Bordeaux, unable to paint due to a broken arm. He painted landscapes in Normandy, Seine-et-Marne, Marseille, Italy, and Venice. The artistic output of this painter, under his name or pseudonyms, was vast, and his commercial success attracted imitators, with forgeries being common in the art market. He had two studios in Montmartre: one at 4 Rue Ravignan in 1877, and the second at 24 Rue Houdon, where he worked in 1886. In 1906, he settled in Fontainebleau. Eugène Galien-Laloue’s grave in Chérence Cemetery He died on April 18, 1941, at his daughter’s country house in Chérence (Val-d'Oise) and was buried in the local cemetery.

19th Century Framed Farmyard Oil Painting Signed Kermanguy for E. Galien-Laloue
By Eugene Galien-Laloue
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a study, living room or den with this beautiful and colorful antique painting! Painted in France circa 1890, the artwork on canvas is set in a 19th century carved gilt wood frame and illustrates a picturesque, countryside scene in rural France depicting a farmyard at the edge of a village; the painting is signed in the lower right corner by the artist, E. Kermanguy, one of the pseudonyms of Eugene Galien-Laloue (1854-1941). The pastoral painting, which has been relined, is in excellent condition with rich, realistic colors in a post impressionist style; throughout the painting, the viewer can get a sense of the artist's expertise in the rendering of space, light and a beautifully hazy atmosphere. We thank Mr. Noé Willer for confirming the authenticity of this work, which appears in his archives of the artist. Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) was a French artist of French-Italian parents. He was a popularizer of landscapes, marine and street scenes, usually those illustrating autumn or winter settings. His paintings of the early 1900s accurately represent the era in which he lived: a happy, bustling Paris during la Belle Époque. His paintings regularly include 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 historical content which they document. His work can be seen at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Louvier, Musée des Beaux-Arts, La Rochelle, Mulhouse, France. Some artists or writers are content to have a pseudonym so as to disguise their work. Eugène Galien Laloue was particularly adept at establishing many identities, since over the course of his career he worked under three main pseudonyms: J. Lievin – after a soldier he met during the Franco-Prussian war, E. Galiany – an Italianized version of his own names, and L. Dupuy – after Dupuy Léon who lived in his same area. Even his name “Galien” is questionable, since on occasion he spelled it with one “l” and on his birth...
