Antoine Ponthus-Cinier is a French painter born in Lyon on August 29, 1812 and died on January 17, 1885. He is considered one of the Lyon leaders of the neoclassical movement. He was a student of Paul Delaroche in Paris and became a renowned painter in 1841 by obtaining the second Rome Prize for the historical landscape with Adam and Eve expelled from the Terrestrial Paradise. He spent two years in Italy between 1842 and 1844 and stayed in Florence, Rome, Genoa and Naples. This trip to Italy will strongly influence his artistic productions.
