You may just have just given us a crumb, anon. Looks like Albert Bierstadt did many paintings in Bahamas.

"From the late 1870’s on Bierstadt’s life was a mixture of work, gaiety, and misfortune. Beginning in 1877, his wife began going to the Bahamas for her health. He frequently joined her and while there added sketches of Bahamian scenery to his portfolio. Their extravagant life-style in Nassau, New York, and Europe seems to have caused Bierstadt considerable financial problems. Yet his flirtation with high society and his frequent jaunts to Europe (1878, 1883, 1884, 1887, and 1891) may have been as much to prospect for clients as for pleasure and study. In 1882 he lost his home and studio on the Hudson in a fire that destroyed some paintings, many studies and sketches, and his collection of Indian artifacts."

The artist's rugged, romanticized landscapes of the West, painted on a grand scale with an abundance of detail and dramatic lighting, captured the imagination of 19th-century art collectors and their interest catapulted Bierstadt to the top of the American art market. His paintings brought record prices and in his lifetime, Bierstadt enjoyed tremendous success and recognition.
Bierstadt became internationally renowned for his beautiful and enormous paintings of the newly accessible American west, and his works found their way into public and private collections at staggeringly high prices for his time. His popularity and wealth rose to tremendous heights only to fade as the interest in the Boston School and impressionism turned public taste away from his highly detailed landscapes suffused with golden light.
In 1867 he married, and he and his new bride went to London. There he met with Queen Victoria.
His wife, Rosalie, needed to live in a warm climate for health reasons, so the couple lived in Nassau, and Bierstadt began to paint the tropics of Nassau as a result of his stays there.
He died suddenly in 1902 and people seemed to forget his work until the 1960's. People became more interested in preserving the national lands of the USA, and his paintings began to be shown again
