Frank BOGGS (Frank Myers Boggs) 1855 - 1926 (American - naturalized French and active in France)
Painter of urban landscapes, seascapes - watercolorist - engraver - draftsman 
In Paris, he was a student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and then exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français - In 1885, he exhibited in New York and in Chicago in 1893 alongside the American impressionists. In love with Paris, its quays and monuments, attached to the banks of the Seine throughout its course - insatiable admirer of French and foreign ports, he multiplied the views of these sites in solidly built paintings - with skies swept by clouds, often covered. - Thus F. Boggs painted in Normandy, Brittany, Holland, England and Venice. His favorite motifs were rivers and harbors whose aquatic element allowed him to suggest the multiple nuances of the atmosphere.
He has also made a name for himself with his much appreciated watercolors.
