Raoul Maucherat de Longpré (1843–1911) was a French painter celebrated for his elegant and highly detailed floral still lifes. Born in Lyon into a family of artists, he began painting flowers at an early age and, by twelve, was earning a living decorating fans with floral designs. He later exhibited at the Paris Salon and developed a distinctive style in watercolor and gouache, often depicting lush bouquets of roses, lilacs, and other flowers against dark or understated backgrounds. His compositions are admired for their delicate draftsmanship, refined color, and luminous, almost ethereal quality. The younger brother of the better-known floral painter Paul de Longpré, Raoul's work circulated in both Europe and the United States and is represented in collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
