Eugene Galien-Laloue - Flower Market, Place de la Madelaine, originally uploaded by Gandalf's Gallery.
Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854 - 1941) was a French artist of French-Italian parents, born in Paris on December 11, 1854. He was a populariser of street scenes, usually painted in autumn or winter. His paintings of the early 1900s accurately represent the era in which he lived: a happy, bustling Paris with horse-drawn carriages, trolley cars and its first omnibuses. A typical Galien-Laloue painting depicts sidewalks and avenues crowded with people or tourists mingling before the capital's monuments.
