Life and career

Born in Turin in 1818 by Francesco, he was the son of Giacinta Cicero. After completing his studies in veterinary science at Fossano, Felice Cerruti Bauduc was engaged in the Italian War of Independence, 1840-1850. He subsequently decided to try and earn a living from painting and studied with Horace de Vernet who specialised in military scenes, many inspired by North Africa.^[1] His early work often featured militarist themes, such as his Battle with Solferino and San Martino while another painting depicted an episode of the Battle of Goito.

In the later years of his career he turned his attention to Orientalist subject matter such as Arab Caravan (1875) and Fantasia arabe (1884).^[2]

Two of his large oil paintings, featuring Arab fantasies are on display at the Gallery of Modern Art in Turin.^[3]

He worked primarily in oil on large canvases. His painting Pastori Nella Campagna Romana sold November 29, 1993.
