Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Expand French Шаблон:Infobox artist Alexandre Cingria (March 22, 1879, in Geneva – November 8, 1945, in Lausanne) was a Swiss artist who worked as a painter, illustrator, and art restorer.[1] He was best known for his work on stained glass windows.[1][2]
Early life
Cingria was born in Geneva in 1879 from a well known Levantine family, and his older brother was Шаблон:Ill, a famous writer. He studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris as well as at several universities, academies, and art schools in Florence, Geneva, and Munich.[1]
Career
He created the stained glass for the Church of Christ-Roi in Tavannes.[3] In 1928 Cingria participated in a competition to design stained glass for St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva.[4] He created the famous three mosaics located in The Old Arsenal depicting important historical occasions in Geneva, including the mosaic Julius Caesar arrives in Geneva.[5]
Personal life
Cingria, together with his friend and colleague Шаблон:Ill, founded the St Luke's Group (Groupe d'artistes St Luc or Groupe de Saint-Luc), an association of artists, architects and intellectuals who were Catholics and loved religious art in French speaking Switzerland.[6] The group was founded in 1919 and operated between the world wars. The two men were known to have met often at the hotel Lion d'Or in Romont. Their club ended up including artists from a wide range of disciplines and origins.[2]
