Edouard Jean Conrad Hamman (24 September 1819 – 30 March 1888) was a Belgian painter and engraver who specialized in portraying scenes from the lives of famous artists, scholars and the nobility.

His father was the Town Receiver and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in Ostend and created a fund for the benefit of needy fishermen and their families.

His first success was at the Brussels Salon of 1842,[2] which was followed by a commission to paint a mural, The Triumphant Entry of the Archduke Albert and Isabella to Ostend in 1604, for the Town Hall.

Among his other notable works from this period are six paintings of Italian history, commissioned by Victor Emmanuel II, and the series "Celebrated Composers", reproductions from which are still in use.

In later years he turned more to genre painting and portraits, including one of King Norodom of Cambodia, which brought him great distinction in that country.
