Louis Lemaire arrived in Paris on April 18, 1824, together with Louis Antoine and Marie Françoise Fournier.[1]

After training in drawing, he began his professional career in paper production, for which he designed motifs.

As a pupil of Auguste Marie Boulard and Jules Dupré he painted flowers and landscapes; he was also active as an engraver. He first exhibited at the Salon of 1849 and received in 1883 an honorable mention, in 1884 a third-class medal, and in 1899 a second-class silver medal[2]. His works were also seen at the Pau Salon in 1900[3],[4]. In 1860 he married Marie Masson, the daughter of a grocer from Coulommiers. He kept close contact with his two masters, who were based in L'Isle-Adam and Champagne-sur-Oise, and he himself acquired the estate “Les Arcades” on Rue du Maréchal Foch in Parmain[5].

After his death on 16 March 1910 in Paris he was buried in the family grave at Père-Lachaise Cemetery[6].
