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 School of Fine Arts and then exhibited regularly at the Salon of French Artists – In 1885, he exhibited in New York and in Chicago in 1893 alongside the American Impressionists.In love with Paris, its quays and its monuments, attached to the banks of the Seine throughout his 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 paints in Normandy, Brittany, Holland, England and Venice – His favorite motifs are rivers and ports whose aquatic element allows him to suggest the multiple nuances of the atmosphere.
He also illustrated himself with his highly appreciated watercolors.
