'''Léopold-Henri Girardet''' (21 September 1848, [[Brienz/Brinzauls|Brienz]] - 10 December 1917, [[Neuchâtel]]) was a French-Swiss painter, sculptor, [[engraver]], and [[lithographer]].
==Life and work==
He was born to a family of artists; which included his father, [[Edouard Girardet|Edouard]], and his uncles [[Karl Girardet|Karl]] and [[Paul Girardet|Paul]]. His brothers, Pierre (1850–1884), Robert (1851–1900) and Max (1857–1927), also became painters of some note. In 1857, when he was only nine, his family moved to Paris.
His initial lessons in drawing came from his father. Much of his career would be spent providing illustrations for the publisher and art dealer, [[Goupil & Cie|Adolphe Goupil]]; especially for his journal, ''Le Magasin Pittoresque''.
Although he was based in Paris, he spent most of his time travelling; throughout France, Italy and North Africa. After 1874, he was a regular participant in exhibtions at the [[Salon (Paris)|Salon]]. In 1887, financial considerations forced him to return to Switzerland. At first, he lived in Brienz, then moved to Neuchâtel. In addition to [[Genre art|genre]] paintings, he created portrait busts and medallions.
