Lionel Walden (May 22, 1862[1]–1933) was an American painter active in Hawaii, Cornwall, and France.
He first became interested in art in Minnesota, where the family moved when his father Treadwell[1] became rector of an Episcopal Church there.
[3] Walden received medals from the Paris Salon and was made a Knight of the French Legion of Honor.
This record was set by Breaking Waves, a 24 by 51.5 inch oil painting on canvas sold March 2, 2007, at Skinner Inc. (Marlborough, Massachusetts).
[4] A painting by Walden, "The Wave" (1908) is since 2015 in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Quimper (France), (don d'Elisabeth Willmott et Jean-David Jumeau-Lafond en mémoire de Jean et Jacqueline Jumeau-Lafond).
