Jean Alphonse Roehn (January 31, 1799 – May 10, 1864) was a French painter and caricaturist.
His father was painter Adolphe Roehn. In 1813, Jean Alphonse went to study at the École des Beaux Arts, where he studied under Jean-Baptiste Regnault and Antoine-Jean Gros. He started exhibiting painting at the Salon of 1822, and in the Salon of 1827, he won a second class medal. He was also a drawing teacher at the Louis-Legrand School.[1] His painting Le braconnier (The poacher) is in the collection of the Louvre.[2]
In addition to painting, he drew cartoons, including one lampooning the British as uncultured after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.[3] That cartoon and others are in the collection of the British Museum.[4]
