Frederick Vezin

Frederick Vezin also Fred or Frederik (14 August 1859, Torresdale, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[1] - 26 December 1933, Düsseldorf)[2] was an American-born German painter, engraver and lithographer.

According to Richard Böger, Pierre Vezin (1654–1727) was forced to flee after he gave assistance to the Huguenots, even though he was a Catholic.

[5] In 1813, Charles Henri/Carl Heinrich Vezin (1782–1853), Fredericks grandfather, emigrated to the United States and settled in Philadelphia.

Later, he studied history painting with Peter Janssen and the Nazarene artist, Karl Müller.

He remained at the Academy until 1883; working with Julius Roeting, Eduard von Gebhardt and Wilhelm Sohn.
