Charles F. Kimball

Charles Frederick Kimball (1831–1903) was a 19th-century American painter who focused on pastoral landscapes and marine art.

He along with fellow landscape artist, John Bradley Hudson, Jr., shared a passion for painting en plein air, traveling around Casco Bay and Portland with their easels and brushes painting local scenery.

He studied with Portland artist, Charles Octavius Cole and John Greenleaf Cloudman.

After gaining recognition as a gifted artist, Kimball quit painting professionally in 1863 to work as a stair builder and cabinet maker.

After quitting the "professional scene", his style evolved under the influence of the French Barbizon school.
