Louis Joseph Bahin was born on October 6, 1813, in Armentières en Brie/Isles, Seine & Marne France.[1][2]
Bahin exhibited his paintings in Marseille, Southern France, from 1832 to 1845.[2]
Bahin became a landscape painter and portraitist in the Antebellum South, especially in Natchez, Mississippi, and painted many members of the Southern aristocracy.[1] For example, he did a portrait of planter Levin R. Marshall and his son, George M. Marshall, which now hangs in the dining-room at Lansdowne, their family mansion.[3]
His work can also be found in public galleries and museums. For example, his painting, Natchez Under the Hill, is exhibited at the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia.[4] Other paintings can be found at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in Jackson, Mississippi, and the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio.[5]
Bahin was married to Josephine Carementrand.[2] He died on June 27, 1857, in Mississippi.[1][2]
