Pair of Mid-Century French Signed Framed Oil on Canvas Parisian Paintings

Decorate a living room, library, or office with this exquisite pair of Paris street scenes. Painted in France circa 1960, each artwork is set in a beautifully textured and painted frame, and depicts a lively Parisian view rendered in Blanchard’s signature impressionistic style. One composition, Les Quais et le Louvre, captures a bustling riverside scene with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and kiosks under autumn skies; the other, La Porte Saint-Martin, presents a winter view of the famous monument animated with carriages and city life blanketed in snow. Executed with a thick, textured impasto technique, both paintings reveal the artist’s masterful use of light and movement to convey the vibrancy of everyday Paris. They are in excellent condition and signed in the lower corners by Antoine Blanchard. Authenticity papers from Rehs Galleries accompany the works, each listed in the Antoine Blanchard Virtual Checklist as no. LVQLW1318.0010 and no.

This 19th century impressionist painting was crafted in France, circa 1890.

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 landscape 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 Galien-Laloue's works are valued not only for their contribution to 20th century art, but for the actual historical content which they document.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. A typical Galien Laloue...
