Cesare Biseo (Rome, 1843 - 1909)

Son and pupil of Gian Battista Biseo , Cesare Biseo was an orientalist painter of great emotional depth and of great chromatic richness. At the invitation of the viceroy of Egypt, he went to Alexandria, where he made frescoes for the Government Palace . In 1875, with Edmondo De Amicis and with Stefano Ussi , he went to Morocco as a member of an Italian diplomatic mission. He produced illustrations for the books by E. De Amicis. He also studied etching and engraving techniques, referring to the Roman views by Piranesi . He is remembered and appreciated thanks to his work In The Desert , held in Rome, at the National Gallery of Modern Art.
