Julien Vallou de Villeneuve[1] (Boissy-Saint-Léger, 12 December 1795 - Paris, 4 May 1866) was a French painter, lithographer and photographer.

Vallou de Villeneuve studied with Jean-François Millet, and started his career at the Salon of 1814, exposing images depicting daily life, mode, regional costumes and nude photographs.

He moved to Paris in 1850, founding the Société française de photographie in 1854. He was also a member of the Société héliographique.

Vallou de Villeneuve is buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery (31st division, 1st ligne, U 33)

His best-known photo is this[2], supposedly the basis of Gustave Courbet's Les Baigneuses.
