About the Item

Signed lower right: A. Cingria Inscribed lower left: Geneva 1814 This striking oil painting by Swiss artist Alexandre Cingria depicts a fishmonger standing with a basket of fish, rendered in bold colors and vigorous brushstrokes. The warm tonalities and simplified forms reflect Cingria’s engagement with Post-Impressionist and Fauvist influences, while the composition conveys both strength and serenity. The inscription “Geneva 1814” does not correspond to the painting’s actual date of execution but rather likely refers to the historical period or an earlier source image (such as an 1814 engraving or painting) that inspired the work. It may also allude to the year Geneva joined the Swiss Confederation, a theme consistent with Cingria’s deep attachment to the cultural and historical identity of his native city. A leading figure of early 20th-century Swiss art, Alexandre Cingria was a painter, muralist, and stained-glass designer closely associated with the revival of sacred and decorative art. His works often merged modernist expressiveness with symbolic and local references, celebrating everyday life and the spirit of Geneva. In The Fishmonger, Geneva 1814, Cingria captures a timeless scene that bridges history and modernity. The monumental figure, the sculptural volumes, and the dynamic interplay of reds, ochres, and greys reveal his mature style — both robust and lyrical.
