André Giroux (painter)

André Giroux (April 30, 1801 – November 18, 1879) was a French photographer and painter.

Giroux was also a well established art dealer and gave up painting to promote his business selling curiosities.

Giroux's work is extensively discussed in Steven Adams' doctoral thesis from the University of Leeds in 2003.

Born in Paris, he was son to François-Simon-Alphonse Giroux, maker of camera equipment for Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre.

He attended École des Beaux-Arts beginning in 1821, and was a student of Jacques-Louis David.
