Jacques-Henry Delpy was a French landscape painter.
Edmond Marie Petitjean was a French painter. He was known for his seascapes and rural landscapes.
Petitjean's paintings are characterized by bright, vibrant colours and free strokes that convey a sense of movement and atmosphere.
Petitjean's work was exhibited widely during his lifetime, including at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants and the Salon d'Autumn in Paris. Like many artists of the period, he also created illustrations and caricatures for periodicals. He was the recipient of numerous awards and prizes for his work.
Hippolyte Camille Delpy was a French painter.
He came from a moderately wealthy family from Joigny, in the Burgundy region of France. His son, Henry Jacques Delpy (1877-1957), also became a painter, as did a cousin on his father's side, Lucien-Victor Delpy (1898-1967).
Delpy studied with Charles-François Daubigny as well as Corot. A contemporary of the Impressionists, Delpy blended the subject matter that he adopted from Daubigny with the brighter colors and looser paint handling that were trademarks of his own generation to create distinctive new visions of many of the landscapes first explored by the Barbizon artists.
Eugène Galien-Laloue was a French artist. 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, la Belle Époque, with 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 history, which they document. His work can be seen at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Louvier; Musée des Beaux-Arts, La Rochelle; Mulhouse, France.
