Jean Denis Antoine Caucannier (c. 1860–1905/06) was a French painter.

Life

Caucannier was born in Paris in about 1860. He studied under

Jules Lefebvre.[1]

He painted portraits and

Paris Salon between 1880 and 1905, including: La Femme de Potiphar ('Potiphar's Wife'), La Fourmi ('The Ant') and L'Araignée ('The Spider').[2] He became a member of the Société des Artistes Français in 1883. According to the Benezit Dictionary of Artists, "His body of work is at times somewhat sickly-sweet, but nonetheless demonstrates an ability to capture light effects."[1]
