Frederick Lincoln Stoddard (March 7, 1861 - February 24, 1940) was an artist known for his stained glass, paintings and murals, with notable pieces designed as public works in Missouri, New York, and Massachusetts.

[1] Stoddard's style and work shows the influence of French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824–1898).

[1] He started out working with stained glass but switched to murals after spending five years in Paris.

[3] In France, he studied under or was influenced by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Gabriel Ferrier, Jean-Paul Laurens, and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant.

A mural that he submitted for a tympanum, titled "The School of Sappho", was placed over the entrance of the Liberal Arts Building at the fair.
