Henry Bacon (Haverhill, Massachusetts, 1839 – Cairo, March 13, 1912) was an American painter. During the American Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army and acted as a field artist while he served as a soldier within the 13th Massachusetts Infantry. Badly wounded at Bull Run, he was discharged on 19 December 1862. In 1864, he went to Paris, with his first wife Elizabeth Lord, to study figure painting. He was admitted to the National School of Fine Arts and was one of Alexandre Cabanel's scholars.
