Biography
Eugénie Risler (1850-1920) painted with a gentle patience that captured the light and quiet rhythms of the landscapes she loved. Her canvases, often suffused with soft color, celebrated the subtleties of everyday life and offered viewers a respite from the bustle of the wider world.
She remained devoted to her art throughout her life, nurturing students and friends who cherished her kindness as much as her talent. Eugénie Risler’s memory rests at the Right Bank Cemetery in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, where her work continues to inspire those who discover it.
