Travels to North Africa produced exotic images such as Oriental Market from 1869 or River Bank in Turkey in 1877, and a set of twenty-five color lithographs for Marius FontaneÂ’s 1869 book, Voyage pittoresque à travers lÂ’isthme de Suez, (Paris, P. Dupont). However, the primary focus of CiceriÂ’s work remained the landscape of France, particularly the region surrounding Paris and the countryside of Normandy.
By the 1870s, his color palette had brightened and his subject matter became increasingly concentrated on the formal and tonal relationships between sky, water and earth. Traces of the Barbizon aesthetic remain in the images of working men and women who fish and wash clothes and drive carriages, but attention to atmospheric effects and colored light suggests the growing influence of Impressionism; and like his uncle Isabey, Ciceri created skies that were vast and full of movement. Still painting at age 77, Ciceri died at the village of Marlotte near Fontainebleau on April 22, 1890.
Since his death, CiceriÂ’s paintings have generally followed the market trends for Barbizon and Realist art, falling dramatically in the 1920s and 30s, but rebounding solidly in the 1970s and continuing to grow today. His works are on display in public collections throughout the Europe and the United States, including the Louvre, the National Gallery in Berlin, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the French national museums at Châlons-sur-Marne, Chartres, Le Harve, Limoges, Mulhouse, Perpignan, and Troyes.ATTENTION: The auction is in USD (US Dollars).
