Jean Adolphe Braun (13 June 1812 – 31 December 1877)[1] was a French photographer, best known for his floral still lifes, Parisian street scenes, and grand Alpine landscapes.
One of the most influential French photographers of the 19th century,[2] he used contemporary innovations in photographic reproduction to market his photographs worldwide.
In his later years, he used photographic techniques to reproduce famous works of art, which helped advance the field of art history.[3]
