“Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Eurilda Loomis France had strong training in the classic arts. In Paris, she studied with Constant and Lefebvre and at the Academie Julian with Carolus-Duran.

She was married to artist Jesse Leach France, and they painted together in Europe for several years. She exhibited in the Paris Salon in 1890 and the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. She also exhibited at the National Academy of Design and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

She lived in New York City in the 1890s, in Buffalo in the early 1900s, and later in New Haven, Connecticut.”

This Biography is from Tepper Galleries:

“Painter, illustrator, and teacher, Eurilda Loomis France was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1865.  Like many artists of her generation, she pursued art training in Paris.  There she studied at the Académie Julian under Ami Morot, Jules-Joseph Lefebvre,  William-Adolphe Bougereau, and Tony Robert-Fleury.  She also received instruction from Emile-Auguste Carolus-Duran, who was prominent as the teacher of John Singer Sargent.  France exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1890, displaying a work entitled In Flanders.  

On her return from Europe, France settled in New York City.  Her address on West 42nd Street was noted in the National Academy of Design catalogue of 1895, when she exhibited a painting entitled A Disappointed Call at the Academy.  By 1909, she had moved to Buffalo, New York, as she provided a Buffalo address when she showed a work entitled A Passing Effect at the annual show at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in that year.  

Later, France moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where she was active in the New Haven Paint and Clay Club and the New Haven Brush and Palette Club.  During the course of her career, she was also a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists and the Philadelphia Art Alliance.  Toward the end of her life, France spent summers in Scarboro, Maine. 

She died in New Haven in 1931.”

This Biographical Supplement is from Eurilda’s Great Grandson, W. DeWayne France, Jr., the Legacy Web Site author.

As noted elsewhere, Eurilda was buried in Pittsburgh, PA as confirmed by her Death Certificate.  An interesting side note is a France  headstone in Black Point Cemetery in Scarborough, ME. The inscription cut into the stone is as follows:  “1860  EURILDA LOOMIS FRANCE  1930”.

The background on this conundrum is that her second son, William, had this headstone prepared in anticipation of bringing Eurilda’s remains from Pittsburgh to Maine years after her death. However, the transfer was never made. Also, although this headstone shows her death as 1930, she actually died on February 16, 1931 ! One cannot believe everything one reads, even when it is cut in stone.
