Farquhar McGillivray Knowles (22 May 1859 – 9 April 1932) was an American painter who spent much of his life in Canada. He was best known for his seascapes. ==Early years== Farquhar McGillivray Strachan Stewart Knowles was born in Syracuse, New York on 22 May 1859. His parents were Scottish in origin. Around 1863 they returned to Canada, where Knowles was educated in Guelph, Ontario. Due to the influence of his military grandfather he enrolled in the artillery at the military academy in West Point around 1877. He suffered a serious accident in his fourth year which ruled out a military career. Knowles found work in New York City retouching photographs, and took some art courses there. He returned to Canada where he found employment with the William Notman and John Fraser photographic studios in Toronto. He added color to their portrait photographs of wealthy customers. The studio's co-owner was John A. Fraser, R.C.A., an accomplished watercolor artist, who instructed him in painting miniatures and watercolors. In 1885 McGillivray Knowles went to Europe, where he studied painting in England and France. Knowles married Ada Cullen, who died in 1887. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farquhar McGillivray Knowles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
