Artist: Frederick Arthur Verner ~ [1836-1928] Canadian OSA, RCA
Artist: Frederick Arthur Verner ~ [1836-1928] Canadian OSA, RCA
Reference: Born in 1836, Frederick A. Verner traveled to England in 1856 to study art at the South Kensington School of Art. While in England he served for the British army. Upon his return to Canada in 1862 he opened a studio in Toronto. During his time spent in Canada he painted many fine portrais of native people as well as native scenes and landscapes. Although Paul Kane was much older, they became close friends in the artist's later uears and it is thought by some that Verner replace Kane as Canada's most accoplished artist at the time. Verner was well exhibited throughout his life; showing with the RCA from its founding in 1880 until 1927, and with the OSA until 1911. He also exhibited with the Art Association of Montreal from 1872 to 1922. Verner even exhibited his scenes of Canada with Buffalo Bill's show in London.
