Lucien Jusseaume

Louis Hubert called Lucien Jusseaume (10 February 1861 – 8 July 1925) was a French decor painter.

He is considered one of the greatest theater designers, who always remained attached to the principle of realistic decor.

He painted the scenery from the premiere at la Scala for Madame Butterfly in February 1904.

Through traveling he was inspired by real scenery, like for Carmen, Le Juif polonais (in Alsace), and Mireille (in Provence).

Among his other works are King Lear (Théâtre Libre), Julius Caesar, Sapho, Ramuntcho, L'Honneur japonais[1] (Théâtre de l'Odéon), Louise, Pénélope, Lorenzaccio, L'Enfant roi (Opéra-Comique).
