Frederick Judd Waugh

Frederick Judd Waugh (1861–1940) was born in Bordentown, New Jersey, the son of the Philadelphia portrait painter Samuel Waugh. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Eakins and at the Académie Julian in Paris under Bouguereau, then lived for some years on the Channel Island of Sark and in England, earning his living as a painter of the sea. He returned to the United States in 1908 and later lived on Bailey Island, Maine, and in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He was known above all as a marine painter, and his seascapes won the Popular Prize at the Carnegie International five years running. In 1918 he designed ship camouflage for the US Navy under Everett L. Warner. A lifelong interest in fairy lore also led him to write a children's book, The Clan of Munes, and to paint legendary and mythological subjects. Here: The Knight of the Holy Grail.
