Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) was an Impressionist French painter. He painted bustling and cheerful urban life of Paris, on its boulevards, against the famous landmarks and in many seasons and illumination conditions. He was born in the era, when urban life was intensely enjoyable in the Paris city. The city was now illuminated with gas and electric lighting, stretching the day into late evening. It was a time, when affordable and easy means of public transportation, such as horse-drawn carriages, trolley cars, and buses became available.
