      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s"> </p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Louis Abel-Truchet was a major French painter, etcher and lithographer of his time. He was born in Versailles in Paris and this city was to remain close to his heart throughout his life. He is well-known for his paintings portraying turn-of-the-century life in Paris. Working mainly in oils, his paintings included portraits of elegant young Parisian women, landscapes of the city and scenes depicting everyday life in Paris. He particularly liked to paint the artists’ quarter of Monmartre.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He was a student of the well-known Julian Academy in Paris and was a student of Julian Lefebvre and Benjamin Constant. Paris was not the only city he painted; he also produced some magnificent works showing other cities such as Venice, Sienna and Marseille.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He was not happy with his role as an artist being confined to the ‘mere’ portrayal of scenes and life and became involved in other areas such as the annual exhibitions in Paris. In 1908 he helped launch the ‘Salon D’Autome’.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Louis was deemed by many to be an ‘Impressionist’ due to the style of work he created, yet the wealth and variety of work he created throughout his life makes it impossible to define his role as an artist only through Impressionism. His role as a satirist of the time was also a major part of his life and this motivated him to be one of the founding members of the Society of Humorists. He has favorably been compared to the great satirists of the day such as Forain.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He was also a member of the Cornet Society, which was a fraternity of artists, musicians, academics and other prominent Parisians who met regularly to discuss matters of the day. The society invited artists of the group to supply illustrations, which were made into postcards and menus, and Louis produced a number of illustrations for them.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">At the age of fifty-seven, he volunteered to fight in the First World War. This also became material for his art as he produced a series of lithographs depicting scenes from World War One and his own first-hand experience of the war. One particularly well-known lithograph is entitled ‘Stalemate at the Western Front. Defeat at Home.’ It shows an officer being told off by a woman, who seems to be his wife. It has been said that this is a self-portrait of Louis himself. Apparently some said he joined up to get away from his own domestic problems.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He commanded a section of fighting troops during the war and was awarded the Legion of Honor and La Croix de Guerre. He sadly died whilst carrying out his military service in the last few months of the war. Following his death, a number of his paintings were exhibited at the Salon D’Autome in an exhibition entitled ‘Artists who died for their country’.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">A recent painting by Abel-Truchet sold at auction for just under $10,000, as his work is definitely sought-after. Paintings of Parisian life, as depicted by him, are particularly in demand. It is always possible of course that during the first world he produced illustrations which he gave to his fellow soldiers. Did you have a relative who served in the WWI; could you have a drawing or piece of art by Louis lying around undiscovered?</p>
