Life

Eugène Lavieille began his professional career as a decorator . In 1841 he was accepted as a pupil in the workshop of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot .

Lavieile was best known for atmospheric painting in the open air. His favorite subjects were forests, fields, ponds, farms, hamlet streets, river banks, ships on the beach and on the flat coasts around Berck, as well as some places such as the Château de Pierrefonds (Oise) or La Ferté-Milon . He preferred to paint scenes of everyday life in the country, farmers in the fields or deer in the forest, landscapes in winter or preferably at night. He is therefore regarded as a painter of the melancholy sky, snow and nights, because he was able to capture the atmosphere of these special moods remarkably.

He also painted Montmartre around 1848.
