Je m'interesse a la famille Lachaise de Lyon, dont Armand Lachaise s'etablit a New York U.S.A. au 19me siecle. Il epousa deux soeurs Thorne de New York, dont ses enfants furent Eugene, Isabel, Annie, Victorine.
Armand aurait ete un homme d'affaires et fils d'un gouverneur de Lyon, France.

Merci de votre cooperation.

Hello,
I got by chance this message. I own a painting by Eugène-Armand Lachaise (1857-1925). I'd like to get information about him and especially about his artistic career. I suppose, he was the son of Armand Lachaise (from Lyon, France) and Anne Thorne (from New York). Is that right?
Thanks for your help.
François

Hello,

Thanks for the message.
It is difficult to say, so far we cannot check the Lachaise's from Lyon genealogy we cannot be sure.
So far I know Armand Lachaise who married Anne Thorne from New York had two daughters, Victorine and Annie.
From Victorine, my gggrand-mother we know a lot. From her family almost nothing.
I happened to know that Armand married a second time, another Thorne, and had as children Eugene and Isabel whose destiny I am looking for, they or theirs children could give informations about the family.

As a piece of information I can say that Victorine was good on hand drawing ( une excellente dessinatrice) and that she gave that gift to her son, Victor H. Bourgeois, who painted all his life.
Tell me everything you find on Eugene Armand Lachaise 1857-1925 and we will see if we can find evidences.
Do you have a photograph of him ?
Comparing with Victorine Bourgeois-Lachaise's photograph we should see if they fit to the same family.
Anyway Lyon is a small city, this is an important family, after all Armand was the son of a Gouverneur de Lyon, this should not be very difficult to get theirs genealogy.
Let's be careful, Lachaise is a common name in France and the Net gives another artist, a Gaston Lachaise, maybe they are related.
You are welcomed

Thanks so much for your first help. Unfortunately, I don't have any picture of Eugène-Armand Lachaise (1857-1925), I do only have this painting, depicting a fine Japanese interior subject and dated 1889. I've no idea as well about an eventual connection with the artist named Gaston Lachaise. Anyway, this interesting painting will be part of the works, which will be exhibited at the "Salon du Collectionneur" in Paris beginning of September.
Hope I'll have time to get further information.
Thanks again.
François

Incidentally any chance you could photograph your painting so I could take a look. I am doing a Japanese exhibition at the Chateau in July and this could be enormously interesting.
