Frank Waller (painter)

Frank Waller (12 June 1842, New York City - 9 March 1923, Morristown, NJ) was an American architect, Orientalist and landscape painter.

He returned to New York in 1871, but left again, the very next year, to visit Egypt with the history painter, Edwin White.

He developed a lifelong interest in the area; later becoming a member of the Egypt Exploration Society.

[1] Always seeking to improve himself, he continued his studies, with Lemuel Wilmarth, and participated in the founding of the Art Students League of New York, visiting several art schools in Europe to report on their methods, and serving in various administrative capacities through the 1880s.

After 1902, he gave up architecture and turned to landscape painting, which he would pursue until his death in 1923.
