Charles Joseph Auriol

Charles Joseph Auriol (13 November 1778, Geneva - 25 May 1834, Satigny) was a Swiss landscape painter.

He was the son of Pierre-Elisée d’Auriol (1736–1790), a Colonel in the service of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and Anne-Elisabeth Turrettini.

He began as a student of Pierre-Louis de La Rive in Bern, then studied with François-André Vincent and Anne Louis Girodet-Trioson in Paris.

His friend, the artist Wolfgang-Adam Töpffer, gave him the nickname, Nebelmaler (Fog Painter).
