Antonio Ciseri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Ciseri (October 25, 1821 – March 8, 1891) was a Swiss artist.
Ciseri was born in Ronco sopra Ascona in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland and trained in Florence under Niccola Benvenuti. His religious paintings are Raphaelesque in their compositional outlines and their polished surfaces, but are nearly photographic in effect. He fulfilled many important commissions from churches in Italy and Switzerland. Ciseri also painted a significant number of portraits.
