Cesare Tallone (1853 - 1919) was an Italian painter. In 1880, he moved to Rome, where he met Gemito, Michetti and Antonio Mancini, trained at the school of Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi, and where he worked intensively. He successfully participated in the Rome Exhibition of 1883, and the following year in the Turin Exhibition. His portraits were in great demand, even by the royal family: he executed several of them, depicting King Umberto and Queen Margherita.
