Marine Signed Dupuy Pseudonym Of Galien Laloue

If the views of Paris of the Belle Epoque signed Galien Laloue are very popular, the Marines signed by his pseudonym Dupuy deserve to be just as much. The two subjects speak to us of an era that the artist saw in its modernity. The industrial revolution and its consequences run implicitly behind his views of Paris or his views of the port. The second half of the 19th century saw the establishment of a type of boat using coal. The opening in 1869 of the Suez Canal, unfit for sailing, accelerated the process. These ships nevertheless retain sails in order to compensate for any engine deficiency. Modern, Galien Laloue is so by the subject but also by his invoice. He does not paint the ship with the precision of a marine painter. He even takes care not to put the name of the ship on the bow. Its approach is graphic and the game of chimneys and masts lends itself to it. No nostalgia then, modern resolutely modern are the seascapes of Galen Laloue signed Dupuy.
