Biography:

Cesare Biseo was a painter, illustrator and engraver. He was a pupil of his father Giovanni Battista. At the invitation of the Viceroy of Egypt he went to Alexandria, where he frescoed the Government Palace. He was an orientalist painter of great emotional depth and great chromatic richness. In 1875, with Edmondo De Amicis and Stefano Ussi, he went to Morocco as a member of an Italian diplomatic mission. He then carried out the illustrations for the books of Edmondo De Amicis Morocco, published in 1879 (in collaboration with Stefano Ussi) and Costantinopoli, published in 1882. He also studied the techniques of etching and engraved, referring to Piranesi, views with Roman ruins. Among his works we remember In the desert, exhibited in Rome, at the National Gallery of Modern Art.
