| Gaspard-Félix Tournachon 'Nadar' (1820–1910) | ||||||||||
| Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, better known as Nadar, was a French caricaturist, portraitist, and pioneering photographer active from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. Regarded as one of the leading caricaturists of his time, he produced some of the most striking satirical images of political leaders, artists, and writers, while also excelling as a portraitist and one of the earliest practitioners of photography. His work ranged from portraits and landscapes to groundbreaking experiments with aerial photography, yet his caricatures remain his most enduring achievement, celebrated for their wit, exaggeration, and ability to capture the character of his subjects. These images have retained their influence and popularity, securing his place as one of the most memorable figures of 19th-century art and photography. Nadar died in Paris. | ||||||||||
