Osip Emmanuilovich Braz (Russian: Осип Эммануилович Браз; 16 January 1873 in Odessa – 6 November 1936 near Paris) was a Ukrainian-Jewish realist painter.

In 1895-1896, he attended the Saint Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, studying in the workshop of Ilya Repin.

[1] In the following years, a series of portraits of fellow artists, including Leonid Pasternak and Sergey Ivanov, and prominent figures of Russian culture done for Pavel Tretyakov brought Braz fame.

His talent was also displayed in his landscapes of France, the Crimea, and Finland, originating in his travels to the places mentioned.

[2] In 1924 Braz was arrested on false charges of buying paintings for export abroad, and espionage, and was then imprisoned for three years in Solovki prison camp, while his art collections, including important Dutch works from the 17th century, were confiscated and made state property.
