Eugène Cicéri, a renowned French artist and lithographer, left an indelible mark on the art world with his breathtaking panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. In 1862, he captured the enchanting beauty of this vibrant city in nine lithographs that showcased its diverse landscapes. One of his masterpieces, "De Lado da Terra Morro de Senado, " transports us to the majestic mountainside overlooking Rio. The lithograph's intricate details bring to life the lush greenery and rugged terrain that surround this iconic landmark. In "A Prainha (da Saude), " Cicéri invites us to bask in the tranquility of a secluded beach. The lithograph captures the serenity of gently crashing waves against golden sands, offering a momentary escape from bustling city life. Cicéri's talent shines through in "Catette e entrada da Barra. " This artwork showcases Rio's picturesque coastline and its bustling harbor entrance. With meticulous precision, he depicts ships sailing into port while capturing the vibrant energy that permeates these waters. Another captivating piece by Cicéri is "Da Ilha das Cobras. " Here, he takes us on a journey along Rio's shoreline where we witness boats gliding past historic landmarks such as Ilha das Cobras. His attention to detail allows viewers to immerse themselves in this dynamic scene. "As Prais St. Luzia a Gloria" presents an awe-inspiring view from above as we gaze upon two prominent neighborhoods nestled between hills and sea. Cicéri skillfully portrays their architectural charm against a backdrop of blue skies and sparkling waters. Beyond his work on panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro, it also made significant contributions elsewhere. He collaborated with Godefroy Engelmann on "Entree du village des Bains, " showcasing his versatility as an artist beyond Brazil's shores. Cicéri also ventured into stage set design at Paris' Opera House, leaving his mark on the world of theater.
