Le Casino de Monte-Carlo

Signed "Cucuel" (lower left)
Watercolor on paper

American Impressionist Edward Alfred Cucuel was celebrated for his vibrant portrayals of European elegance and leisure. His painting Le Casino de Monte-Carlo captures the splendor of the French Riviera’s most renowned destination—a world synonymous with luxury, refinement and modernity in the early twentieth century.

Against the soft glow of Mediterranean twilight, well-dressed visitors gather before Charles Garnier’s famed Belle Époque casino, their attire evoking the glittering sophistication of Monte Carlo’s social life. The Casino de Monte-Carlo, which opened in 1863, had by the early 20th century become a global attraction, bringing visitors from across Europe and America for gambling, opera and the chance to "see and be seen."

Cucuel was born in San Francisco and began formal training at the city’s School of Design before continuing his studies in Paris under Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux-Arts. After working in France, Italy and Germany, he settled in Munich in 1907, joining the Scholle group led by Leo Putz. There, he refined his Impressionist style—distinguished by radiant color and expressive handling—that would define his career. His paintings were widely exhibited, earning him membership in the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and a silver medal at the 1915 San Francisco International Exposition. Today, his works are held in museum collections, including the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum in Birkenhead, England and the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.
