Gustave Jeanneret

Gustave-Auguste Jeanneret (6 April 1847, Môtiers - 13 September 1927, Cressier)[1] was a Swiss painter who produced mostly landscapes, genre scenes and still-lifes.

He adopted radical political beliefs and, shortly before the Commune, joined the "Chambre syndicale des dessinateurs sur étoffes"; part of the First International.

Together with Eugène Burnand and Karl Alfred Lanz, he was a commissioner for the Swiss art department at the Exposition Universelle (1889).

[2] As a member of the "Gesellschaft Schweizerischer Maler und Bildhauer [de]" he helped create a relief fund for indigent artists.
