Paul-Albert Girard (1839–1920[1]) was a French painter. Although he painted portraits and landscapes, he is best known as an Orientalist painter of North African scenes.[2]

Life and career

The son of painter Pierre Girard, Albert studied at the École des Beaux-Arts from 1857 under Jean-Joseph Bellel.[2]

His work was exhibited at the Salon from 1859 to 1913, at the Dijon Salon from 1887 to 1910, and at the Salon des peintres orientalistes.[2] He won the Prix de Rome in 1861 for the category 'paysage historique' (Historic landscapes) for his painting entitled, The Procession of Silenus.[3]

His oil painting Ritual Slaying of Cockerels (pictured) is in the collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.[1]

Girard was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1895.[2]
