Eugène Gallien Laloue, also known under the pseudonyms Léon Dupuy, Eugène Dupuy, Eugène Galiany, Jacques Liévin, Eugène Lemaitre, Maurice Lenoir, is a French painter and engraver born in Paris on December 11, 1854 and died in Chérence on April 18, 1941.
Student of Léon Germain Pelouse (1838-1891), painter of the Barbizon School, of which he was influenced but without being part of it .
In 1874, he lived on rue de Clignancourt, he was recruited by the French Railway Company to design the route of the rails from Paris to the provincial stations; he took the opportunity to paint the surrounding landscapes, then the districts of Paris, of which he produced a considerable number of gouaches, taking care to respect the outline of the perspective of the buildings. He varies the tone of the sky, the appearance of the trees and the lighting according to the seasons by animating the places of the characters, particularly liking the effects of wet sidewalks in the rain or snow. His work is also closely linked to the village landscapes of the Ile-de-France countryside. In 1874, he stayed in Fontainebleau where he painted sunsets and sunrises, as well as scenes of farmyards and farmyards in Samois-sur-Seine, in the company of Charles Jacque and Léon Dupuy, an artist who will not make a career, but whose name Eugène Galien-Laloue will take as a pseudonym, giving him a second life to make him known in artistic circles. On the Butte Montmartre, he painted The Montmartre Fair, Place Pigalle, as well as the Sacré-Cœur construction site. He painted landscapes of Normandy, Seine-et-Marne, Marseille, Italy and Venice. He owned two workshops in Montmartre at 4, rue Ravignan and 24, rue Houdon. In 1906, he moved to Fontainebleau.
