Impressionist Oil Painting by Listed Artist Frank Myers Boggs

About the Item

Frank Myers Boggs is a well known Impressionist painter who is currently exhibited in many museums, such at the Metroploitan Museum of Art in New York. This is a wonderful example of his nautical paintings; dreamy and foggy. Beautiful gilded frame. Signed lower left. By the late 1880s, Boggs was acquainted with the Impressionists Claude Monet (1840–1926), Alfred Sisley (1839–1899), Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), and Eugène Boudin (1824–1898), but his affinity for marine subjects, his use of a somber tonal palette, and restrained impressionist technique better reflect his admiration for the Dutch marine painter Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819–1891), whom he met in Paris at this time. In 1888, on the death of his parents, he returned to New York. He exhibited the following year at the Universal Exposition in Paris and then in 1890 made a trip to Algiers, which precipitated a number of sketches and paintings of Arab themes. Throughout the next decade Boggs traveled extensively in Europe and frequently visited family in America. He exhibited at the Salon, at most of the international expositions, and in major cities at home and abroad. By 1903 he settled more into Parisian life and two years later moved into an elegant house on the rue de Biraque. He worked extensively in watercolors, many of which depicted architectural subjects, and in 1921 had his first exhibition of etchings. His health failed in 1923, and he died peacefully three years later in Meudon, southwest of Paris. Boggs was awarded the French Legion of Honor posthumously.
