Frederick Judd Waugh
Frederick Judd Waugh was an American artist, primarily known as a marine artist. Waugh was the son of a well-known Philadelphia portrait painter, Samuel Waugh. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts with Thomas Eakins, and at the Académie Julian in Paris, with Adolphe-William Bouguereau. After leaving Paris, he moved to England, residing on the island of Sark in the English Channel, where he made his living as a seascape painter.
Waugh’s marine paintings were highly acclaimed, garnering him the Popular Prize at the Carnegie International Exhibition for five years in a row, a feat accomplished by no other artist. Interestingly, during World War I he designed ship camouflage for the U.S. Navy, under the direction of Everett L. Warner.
Today we present a unique piece from his oeuvre, a beautiful still-live with flowers and bottles, The Rum Row. I love it!
