George David Coulon

Coulon assisted Leon Pomarede in painting a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration above the altar of St. Patrick's Church and helped fresco the ceiling of the criminal court in the Cabildo. Known for his landscapes, portraits, and religious paintings, Coulon worked as an artist and teacher in New Orleans for more than fifty years.

He was one of the founders of the Southern Art Union and the Artists' Association of New Orleans.

George David Coulon married Marie-Paoline Casbergue (1831–1914), a New Orleans native and artist in her own right known for still lifes of birds and game. They had two children, Mary Elizabeth Emma Coulon (1859–1928) and George Joseph Amede Coulon (1854–1922), who were also well-known artists.
