Le Chevrier Grec, translated as The Greek Goatherd, is a notable photographic work by the Swiss photographer Frédéric Boissonnas.

Le Chevrier Grec is one of his most iconic images, encapsulating the rustic charm and timeless beauty of rural Greece.

Boissonnas embarked on several expeditions to Greece between 1903 and 1933, during which he documented the country's landscapes, people, and cultural heritage. His work played a significant role in shaping Western perceptions of Greece during this period. Le Chevrier Grec is emblematic of Boissonnas's style, characterized by its meticulous composition, use of natural light, and the evocative portrayal of everyday life.

The photograph features a Greek goatherd, a figure that symbolizes the pastoral traditions and agrarian lifestyle that were prevalent in Greece at the time. The goatherd is depicted in a serene, natural setting, surrounded by his flock, which underscores the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. The image is not only a testament to Boissonnas's technical prowess but also reflects his deep appreciation for the cultural and natural landscapes he sought to immortalize through his lens.

Le Chevrier Grec has been widely acclaimed for its artistic and historical significance. It has been featured in numerous exhibitions and publications, contributing to the legacy of Frédéric Boissonnas as a master photographer.
