(1790 - 1866) was a French painter born in Rambervillers, Vosges. He was a pupil of Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson. The market in Paris was competitive, so in the winter of 1831 - 32, he went to try his fortunes in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Louisiana Creole people identified with French culture and selected Vaudechamp to paint portraits for them. Over the next ten years he spent winters in New Orleans, and was a leading portrait painter in the region. He died at Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1866.   Related Paintings of Jean Joseph Vaudechamp :. | Self-Portrait | Prophet Elijah and the Widow of Sarepta er | Portrait of Gabrielle d Estrees with her Sister | Madchen mit Mowen | Moonlight on the Delaware River |
