Nicolas-Auguste Galimard (1813 Paris – 1880 Montigny-lès-Cormeilles) was a French historical, portrait and landscape painter.^[1]

Galimard studied under his uncle, Auguste Hesse, and with Ingres, and soon became known for his pictures, chiefly of Biblical subjects.^[1]

His first exhibition was at the Paris Salon of 1835, when he presented his painting of The Three Marys At The Tomb and of a Lady of the Fifteenth Century Galimard was just 22 years old and would continue to display works at the Salon until 1880.^{[citation needed]}

In 1855 at the Exposition Universelle Galimard's work on The Seduction of Leda was considered improper and rejected, however Napoleon III bought it and gave it to William I of Württemberg.^{[citation needed]}

Galimard painted the Disciples at Emmaus for Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois, and mural decorations in the St. Germain-des-Prés, Paris. His picture of The Ode, exhibited at the Salon in 1846, is now in the Luxembourg Gallery. Many of Galimard's works have been engraved by Aubry-Lecomte and others. He made several designs for stained-glass windows, and wrote treatises on the subject.^[1]

Numerous articles were published by Galimard as an art critic^[2] using the names Judex, Dicastès and Richter in journals of the time like Gazette des Beaux-Arts, The Artist and La Patrie.^{[citation needed]}
