George Frederick Munn Oil on Canvas Painting. Signed LL Geo F. Munn and dated ’92
Known as a painter of landscapes and flowers, George Munn worked almost exclusively in Brittany and Normandy. Born August 21, 1851, in Utica, New York, he took his first art education with Charles Caverly, the sculptor. Later he studied at the schools of the National Academy in New York. Leaving the United States for England, he entered the Royal Academy School where he soon took a silver medal " Munn knew how to represent a simple piece of natural landscape, seizing its charm and recording it for the permanent possession of those before whose eyes it would never appear again in reality."
