Eugene Antoine Samuel Lavieille was the younger brother of famous wood engraver, Jacques Adrien Lavieille. He studied under Camille Corot and was one of his best students in landscape painting. Lavieille made his Salon debut in 1844 and received multiple medals in the period from 1849 until 1870. He participated in four world exhibitions in 1855, 1862, 1867, and 1878; and his works are in the collections of many Museums, including New York’s MoMA and Musee du Louvre in Paris.
