Alphonse Stengelin (1852–1938) was a French painter, engraver, and lithographer who spent much of his life working outside France.

[1][2][3][4] His father was a banker, associated with the banking house of Evesque & Cie.[5] After studying at the Collège-lycée Ampère, he enrolled at the École des beaux-arts de Lyon and became a student of the school's Director, Joseph Guichard.

He also worked with Augustin Chenu and Florian-Némorin Cabane (1831–1922), both landscape painters.

[6] He spent much of his time copying the Old Masters at the Musée des beaux-arts de Lyon and was a great admirer of Rembrandt.

[7] The small towns of Hooghalen and Katwijk and the farming country of Bresse were among his favorite locations.
