About the Item

Painted in France circa 1890, this evocative oil on panel depicts a bustling Paris boulevard at dusk. Executed in the manner of Édouard Cortès and Eugene Galien-Laloue, the scene captures the Belle Époque spirit with lively detail: elegantly dressed Parisians strolling along shopfronts, a flower vendor pushing her cart, and a horse-drawn omnibus pulled by four white horses dominating the cobblestoned avenue. The monumental columns of La Madeleine rise in the background, anchoring the cityscape in one of Paris’s most recognizable vistas. The artist, signed L. Leje lower left, employs a warm autumnal palette with quick, impressionistic brushwork that conveys both atmosphere and movement. Glowing storefront windows reflect across rain-dampened pavements, heightening the impression of a Paris evening alive with activity. Presented in its original carved giltwood frame with foliate and ribbon motifs, the work is in excellent condition with a rich, aged patina to both painting and frame, consistent with age and use.

19th Century French Parisian Scene Painting in Gilt Frame Signed E. Thioulouze
By Édouard Leon Cortès
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a wall with this beautiful and colorful painting. Painted on canvas in Paris circa 1890 and set in a thick carved and gilt frame, the artwork beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of La Madeleine in Paris, a neoclassical church known for its imposing columns. The scene is set in front of the church, where bustling market stalls display a colorful array of flowers, and elegantly dressed Parisians walk by. The artist skillfully contrasts the grand architecture with the lively street life, highlighting the charm of daily activities in the heart of Paris. The use of rich colors and detailed brushwork conveys a sense of warmth and vibrancy, encapsulating a timeless Parisian moment. The artwork is signed in the lower left corner by French artist, E. Thioulouze, a follower of Edouard Leon Cortes. The painting is in excellent condition with vibrant colors and dressed in a beautiful and elegant gilt frame. The Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, or less formally, La Madeleine, is a Catholic parish church on Place de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It was planned by Louis XV as the focal point of the new Rue Royal, leading to the new Place Louis XV, the present Place de la Concorde. It was dedicated in 1764 by Louis XV, but work halted due to the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte had it redesigned in the Neoclassical style to become a monument to the glory of his armies. After his downfall in 1814 construction as a church resumed, but it was not completed until 1842. The building is surrounded on all four sides by Corinthian columns. The interior is noted for its frescoes on the domed ceiling, and monumental sculptures by François Rude, Carlo Marochetti and other prominent 19th-century French artists. Edouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969) was a French painter of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting...
