Alexandre Cingria (March 22, 1879, in Geneva – November 8, 1945, in Lausanne) was a Swiss artist who worked as a painter, illustrator, and art restorer.
He studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris as well as at several universities, academies, and art schools in Florence, Geneva, and Munich.
[3] In 1928 Cingria participated in a competition to design stained glass for St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva.
[5] Cingria, together with his friend and colleague Fernand Dumas [fr], founded the St Luke's Group (Groupe d'artistes St Luc or Groupe de Saint-Luc), an association of artists, architects and intellectuals who were Catholics and loved religious art in French speaking Switzerland.
Their club ended up including artists from a wide range of disciplines and origins.
