Jean Denis Antoine Caucannier (1860–1905) was a French painter born in Paris, known for his portraits and genre paintings. He received his artistic education under the tutelage of notable artists such as Isidore Pils, Jules Frédéric Ballavoine, and Jules Lefebvre, refining his skills and developing a distinctive style.

Caucannier's oeuvre primarily consisted of portraits and genre scenes, painted in oils. One notable example of his genre paintings is "Jeune femme aux glycines" (Young woman with wisteria), which is now held in a private collection. He exhibited his works at the Paris Salon from 1880 to 1905, showcasing genre paintings such as "La Femme de Potiphar" (Potiphar's Wife), "La Fourmi" (The Ant), and "L'Araignée" (The Spider).

In 1883, Caucannier became a member of the Société des Artistes Français, solidifying his place within the French artistic community. Despite some criticism for his paintings being overly sentimental, his body of work demonstrated a skilful ability to capture light effects, adding depth and vibrancy to his compositions.

Caucannier's life was cut short when he passed away in Paris in either 1905 or 1906. Though his career was relatively brief, his contributions to the art world endure, with his works continuing to be appreciated for their delicate beauty and skilful execution.
