Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) was a French artist of French-Italian parents. He was a popularizer of landscape, street scenes, and marine views, 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. Galien-Laloue's works are valued not only for their contribution to 20th century art, but for the actual historical content which they document.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. Galien-Laloue was in exclusive contract with one gallery and used at least 6 other names: "L.Dupuy", "Juliany", "E.Galiany", "Lievin", "A. Languinais" and "Dumoutier".
