Eugene Louis Lami (French 1800- 1890)

Born Paris 12th January 1800 and died Paris 19th December 1890. Studied under Antoine-Jean Gros (1771 - 1835), Horace Vernet (1789 - 1863) and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. His lithography was influenced by Auguste Raffette (1804 - 1860) and was said to have less force but more elegance. Lami expressed himself superbly in a distinct French style and his lithographic collections constitute an important record of Parisienne society during the reign of Louis-Philippe. He was equally attracted by the English aristocracy whom he came to know over the course of his four year stay (1825-1829) in London where he adopted the customs of English society under George IV.
