Eugène Cicéri’s 1859 lithograph “Zicht op het Kasteel van Chillon aan het meer van Genève” depicts a picturesque view of the Château de Chillon on Lake Geneva. The artist's work is notable for its meticulous detail and atmospheric rendering, capturing the castle’s imposing presence against a backdrop of cloudy skies and calm water. Cicéri's mastery of tonal contrasts, achieved through the use of gray tones, creates a sense of depth and serenity. The piece is now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the enduring appeal of this historic landmark.
