Biography

Braham was born in Croydon, Surrey, to Dudley Braham and Florence (née Mears).[1] He studied at Dulwich College in south London,[1] then at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, gaining a BA in 1960 and a PhD (on François Mansart's drawings for the Louvre) in 1967.[3] Photographs contributed by Allan Braham to the Courtauld Institute of Art's Conway Library are currently being digitised as part of the Courtauld Connects project.[4][5]

Braham worked at the National Gallery, London, first as Assistant Keeper (1962-1973), then as Deputy Keeper (1973-1978), then as Keeper (1978-1989)[6] and Deputy Director (1978-1992).[2] Braham coordinated numerous exhibitions, and contributed to the accompanying catalogues.[7][8][9] He was sole or co-author on books on art and architecture, and numerous scholarly articles, in particular for The Burlington Magazine, and for the Gazette des Beaux-Arts in France.

Braham married Helen Clare Butterworth on 15 June 1963 (marriage dissolved in 2004); they had two daughters and lived in North London.[1] Braham died in London in 2011.[10][11]
