Frederick Lincoln Stoddard (March 7, 1861 - February 24, 1940) was an artist known for his stained glass, paintings and murals, with notable pieces designed as public works in Missouri, New York, and Massachusetts. He also produced magazine covers in the late 19th and early 20th century. Stoddard's style and work shows the influence of French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824–1898).




Biography


Born in Coaticook, Quebec, Canada, he attended college at North Missouri State Normal School in Kirksville, Missouri, and later St. Louis School of Fine Arts, where he studied art. He started out working with stained glass but switched to murals after spending five years in Paris. In France, he studied under or was influenced by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Gabriel Ferrier, Jean-Paul Laurens, and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant. Stoddard was active at the Paris Salon and exhibited his work. He returned to the US in the 1890s and became an art instructor at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, where he taught design, applied art, and watercolor painting from 1894 to 1905.
In 1896, he was commissioned to paint murals for St. Louis City Hall and local high schools. He was awarded a silver medal for his work at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, and was active as the chairman of art education for the exposition. A mural that he submitted for a tympanum, titled "The School of Sappho", was placed over the entrance of the Liberal Arts Building at the fair. He moved to New York in 1906 and was an active mural painter for various schools, such as the Hebrew Technical School for Girls and the Eastern District High School. He was also a member of the Salmagundi Club. In 1922, he moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he would spend the last 17 years of his life. In Gloucester, he lived with his wife Henrietta Ravet, where he was president of the Gloucester Society of Artists and secretary of the North Shore Artists' Association. The Sawyer Free Library features his art work. He died in Gloucester in 1940.
