Eugène Ciceri
Eugène Ciceri (1813–1890) was a French painter, lithographer, and watercolorist known for his landscapes and natural scenes. Born in Paris, Ciceri came from an artistic family—his father, Pierre-Luc-Charles Ciceri, was a set designer, and Eugène inherited his father's passion for scenery. He specialized in landscapes, particularly depictions of rural France, forests, and rivers, often rendered with a lyrical and romantic sensibility.
Ciceri was a prolific lithographer as well, contributing to the popularization of landscape imagery through prints that were widely distributed in France and abroad. His works, whether in watercolor or lithograph, are noted for their soft handling of light and atmosphere, reflecting the Romantic movement’s emphasis on the beauty and emotional power of nature. Ciceri’s works are featured in collections in France, particularly in museums dedicated to 19th-century French art.
