With his paintings depicting everyday life in Paris around the 20th century, the Austrian-born Frenchman Luigi Aloys-Francois-Joseph Loir became famous throughout Europe. As his parents worked as valets and governesses, young Luigi spent his childhood in the household of the French royal family at Görritz Castle. After that, the Loir family lived together in the Duchy of Parma. But when his parents and sisters moved back to their native France, fifteen-year-old Luigi decided to study painting at the Parma Academy of Art and stayed behind on his own. Finally, three years later, he too moved to Paris, among other reasons to be with his father, who had fallen ill in the meantime. In Paris, Loir's promising passion for city painting began. Together with his Paris art teacher Jean-Aimable Amédée Pastelot, Loir worked for French caricature magazines, which were particularly popular at the time. Pastelot specialized mainly in flower and portrait painting in gouache and watercolor. In his studio, the young artist Loir felt encouraged to try different art forms. Among other things, he designed theater costumes, engaged in decorative painting, and submitted illustrations for novels. Despite his love of experimentation, it soon became apparent that his favorite pastime was to realistically depict the many activities and scenes of the Parisian streets. Seeking inspiration, the young Loir walked the neighborhoods, studying the architecture, lighting conditions, and city dwellers.
Loir's complex depictions of the urban image testify to sincere interest and deep thought. He seemed particularly concerned with aesthetically capturing the effects of daylight, evening light, night light, and varying weather conditions. In the manner of Impressionism, he made detailed sketches of changing light effects on buildings and faces, using the studies for his later paintings. This attention to detail allowed him to draw the viewer's attention to specific areas. Likewise, by adding a warm light source to his otherwise cool color palette. Loir particularly enjoyed using well-known places, buildings, and monuments as background motifs. In this way, his works even then exuded a nostalgic atmosphere for which they became so popular.
Loir made his debut at the famous Paris Salon in 1865 and became an active member from that point on. However, his works did not only depict the Parisian cityscape. Many of his paintings were based on settings in other French cities, including Bercy, Auteuil, and Puteaux. Loir made a good living with his art. He received awards for many of his works, and he was assured of financial support from patrons and patronage. In addition, his paintings were purchased by Parisian high society as well as by French and other European museums. As an influential member of several art societies (Société des Arts Décoratifs, Société des Aquarellistes, Société des Artists Français, and Société de Peintres-Lithographes), he was able to see the Paris art museums in Le-Puy-en-Valey and Rouen as a mature artist.
