Alphonse François Jeanrenaud was born in Paris on February 10, 1818.
Jeanrenaud became a French naval officer and later learned photography. He was based primarily in Paris, but did go to the Netherlands in 1858.
He joined the Societe Francaise de Photographie in 1855 and became a board member in 1865. He was considered an excellent landscape photographer and exhibited at the S.F.P's annual salons from 1857-1870. His work included views of Normandy, Switzerland, Fontainebleau, etc.
Jeanreanaud was apparently very interested in the carbon process, although he also worked in albumen and salt prints. His negatives were primarily glass wet plate collodion.
He died in Nogent-le-Roi in November 28, 1895 at the age of 77.
Jeanrenaud's work is in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Snite Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), and the Societe Francaise de Photographie. He is included in both the George Eastman House and the Auer & Auer databases. He is also featured in Heilbrun & Neagu, Musee D'Orsay: Chefs-d'Oeuvre de la Collection Photographique (1986) and his more extensive bio can be found in Durand et.al., De L'Image Fixe a L'Image Animee, Tome 1, A-K (Archives Nationales 2015), p.578-579
