Frederick W. Watts

Frederick W. Watts (7 October 1800 – 4 July 1870)[1][2] was an English landscape painter influenced by Constable.

There is a sparsity of information about this painter which has cast uncertainty over his parentage, training, and date of death.

IN 1817, as "William Watts", he is thought to have entered the Royal Academy in London, and won silver medals there between 1819 and 1821.

Watts lived in Hampstead, London, for much of his life and painted landscapes, "en plein air" all over Britain, having a preference for river scenes.

However, according to the ODNB, Watts died at home in Hampstead in July 1870, of complications caused by Diabetes.
