PIERRE LUC CHARLES CICERI (1782-1868), MINIATURE WATERCOLOUR PAINTING, SIGNED 1
Description:
An antique miniature watercolour painting by Pierre-Luc-Charles
Ciceri (1782-1868), signed within the artwork, and dating to the second
quarter of the 19th Century.
The painting, of watercolour and
gouache on paper, depicts three figures on a road in an Italianate landscape standing close to a
wooden signpost. The sign is inscribed in gothic script ‘Ciceri’ – a manner known
to have been used by the artist.
It is cleanly mounted and
framed under glass in a molded gilt gesso and wood frame.
We have another very similar artwork by the same artist, and other pieces by the Ciceri family, so please take a look at our other items.
Background:
Pierre Cicéri was chief designer at the Paris Opera from
1816 to 1847, as well as designing for many of the other theatres in Parish.
Beginning in 1805, Cicéri was hired as a staff painter, specialising in
landscapes, and in 1816, replaced his father-in-law, Jean-Baptiste Isabey
(1767–1855) as head painter.
As Painter to the King of France, he supervised the decorations
for the coronation of Charles X in 1825.
He was awarded a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur. His
son, Eugène Cicéri, also became a famous painter, illustrator and set
designer.
