Eugen Zardetti

Eugen Zardetti (27 November 1849, Rorschach - 21 February 1926, Lucerne) was a Swiss portrait and marine painter.

His father, Eugen, and mother Annette (née Von Bayer) were from an upper-class family that dealt in various colonial goods.

[2] His artistic education was completed with study trips to Paris, Italy, and along the east coast of Africa.

After 1885, he was able to purchase a small mansion, the "Villa Mirador", in Bregenz (now a residence for a local gymnasium) and decided to specialize in marine painting.

[4] When he purchased the vehicle in 1893, he began a diary related to it, which was donated, together with some of his paintings, to the Vorarlberger Landesbibliothek [de] in 2007.
