William Hahn was born in Saxony, Germany and studied at both the Royal Academy of Art in Dresden and the Dusseldorf Academy. Around 1870, Hahn met the artist William Keith and moved with him to Boston. Several years later, the two traveled to San Francisco where they shared a studio. Hahn’s sketching trips took him to the Sierra Nevadas, Yosemite, Napa Valley, Russian River, and Southern California. His paintings can be found at the Oakland Museum, de Young Museum (Sacramento Railroad Station), Los Angeles County Museum; California Historical Society, Society of California Pioneers, Crocker Museum, Sacramento, Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, New York, and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.
