Frieseke was an American Impressionist painter famous for using dappled sunlight and his somewhat controversial imagery.

Although born and raised in America, Frederick spent much of his adult life in France, occasionally visiting the United States to exhibit.

Despite attending multiple art schools and studying under several mentors, Frederick described himself as self-taught.

Often living near other prominent artists, his influence and connections were among his time’s most far-reaching.
