Portrait of Frédéric Boissonnas

Swiss, 1858–1944

Frédéric Boissonnas was a Swiss artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

François-Frédéric Boissonnas, known as Fred Boissonnas, was a Swiss photographer from Geneva. His work is considered crucial for the development of photography in Greece, and its use in favourably publicising the country's expansionist ambitions, during the early 20th century. Boissonnas constitutes a central figure in the transition from 19th century approaches to a more contemporary photography of antiquities.
