Eugene Louis Lami Paintings

French, 1800-1890
Eugène Louis Lami (12 January 1800 – 19 December 1890) was a French painter, watercolorist, lithographer, illustrator and designer. He was a painter of fashionable Paris during the period of the July Monarchy and the Second French Empire and also made history paintings and illustrations for books such as Gil Blas and Manon Lescaut. He worked at the studio of Horace Vernet then studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris with Camille Roqueplan and Paul Delaroche under Antoine-Jean Gros. While there, he learned watercolor technique from Richard Parkes Bonington and later became a founding member of the Society of French Watercolorists. Lami began working in lithography and in 1819 produced a set of 40 lithographs depicting the Spanish cavalry. These, plus a collaboration with Vernet on a large set of lithographs titled Collections des uniformes des armées françaises de 1791 à 1814 helped build a reputation for doing military scenes which transferred to his paintings. His 1829 portrait of the English king, Charles I of England as he was being led to imprisonment in Carisbrooke Castle was purchased by King Louis-Philippe of France and was on display in the French National Assembly from 1848 to 1969. Today, this work along with his 1840 painting of Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon-Penthièvre, duchesse d'Orléans in the gardens of the Tuileries Palace are both in the Louvre. Lami's painting of the Battle of New Orleans, depicting the moment of the American victory over the British on 26 January 1815 is in the Louisiana State Museum at The Cabildo in New Orleans. He also painted a scene of the storming of Redoubt during the Siege of Yorktown.

A late 20th century watercolour, gouache and acrylic on paper by British artist Derek Carruthers. Signed to the bottom right and dated 1985 and titled, 'Godot' to the reverse. A charming and slightly satirical painting of thousand year old figures which have been humanised. The Egyptian basalt figures are looking around the space clearly waiting for something or someone (hence the title taken from the play, 'Waiting for Godot' in which someone is expected to arrive but never does). The African tribal figures...

A Salon in the House of Baron James Rothschild, Rue Lafitte, Paris - Eugene Lami

By Eugène Louis Lami

Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire

A beautiful oil on canvas circa 1860 by French academic painter Eugene Louis Lami depicting elegant figures standing in the interior of the house of Baron James Rothschild, the founder of Rothschild Bank. Dimensions: Framed: 15.5"x20.5" Unframed: 11.5"x16.5" Provenance: Christies London 17 November 1994 - Lot 122 Eugène Lami studied under Gros, Horace Vernet, and at the École des Beaux-Arts. He exhibited at the Salon from 1824 until 1878. He was awarded a second-class medal in 1875, became a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1837 and was made an officer in 1862. His early work was as a lithographer. He is considered to have possessed the acuity of Raffet, with less force of expression but more elegance. He was the accredited chronicler of the July Monarchy par excellence. He illustrated Queen Victoria's visit to Eu in 1843. He executed decorations, also at Eu, in Renaissance style, and undertook the project to decorate the duke of Nemours' apartment at the Tuileries in the style of Napoleon III. In the revolution of 1848 he decided to go into exile in England, where he exhibited at the Royal Academy and achieved great success in British high society. On his return to France in 1852 he once more embarked on a brilliant career, becoming the official decorator to Baron James de Rothschild at Ferrières, where he revived the Venetian Rococo style, creating a pastiche of Tiepolo for the Venetian Carnival in the smoking room at the château. His first lithograph dates from 1817, entitled Harlequin and Scapin Discussing their Family Name, in colour and signed E. He continued to produce small works, which he signed Eugène. The collection of French Army Uniforms from 1791 to 1814 (100 pieces in colour, in collaboration with Horace Vernet, 1822) and the famous collection of French Uniforms...
