Karl Girardet (1813–1871) was a Swiss-born French painter and illustrator, renowned for his landscape paintings and historical scenes. Born in Le Locle, Switzerland, Girardet moved to Paris in 1827, where he became a pupil of Paul Delaroche and later, a prominent member of the Barbizon school. His works were characterized by their romantic portrayal of nature and historical accuracy, often inspired by his travels across Europe and the Middle East.

Girardet achieved considerable success during his lifetime, receiving numerous commissions from the French monarchy and later, the Second Empire. He was also a prolific illustrator, contributing to various publications and books, which helped disseminate his work widely. His illustrations often accompanied texts by notable authors of his time, enhancing the visual experience of the literary works.

One of Girardet's portraits was captured by the famous photographer Nadar, whose real name was Gaspard-Félix Tournachon. Nadar was known for his portraits of Parisian celebrities of the time, and his photograph of Karl Girardet contributes valuable insight into the artist's appearance and persona. The photograph not only immortalizes Girardet but also stands as an example of Nadar's skill in capturing the essence of the cultural figures of the 19th century.

Karl Girardet's legacy is preserved through his paintings and illustrations, which continue to be appreciated for their artistic merit and historical significance. His works can be found in various museums and private collections, attesting to the enduring appeal of his artistic vision.
