Lemuel D. Eldred (American, 1850-1921)
Marine painter and etcher Lemuel D. Eldred was born and raised in Fairhaven, Massachusetts near New Bedford’s whaling community. He studied for a short time at the Academie Julian in Paris (1880) and traveled throughout Europe (1883) but he claimed he was self-taught. He exhibited in Boston and at the National Academy in 1876. His work is represented in the Peabody Museum of Salem, MA, the Old Dartmouth Historical Society and the Kendall Whaling Museum. Little is known about Eldred’s life. In 1876 he moved to Boston where he established a studio and became a sought-after, popular marine painter.
Eldred painted realistic canvases in oil of Boston Harbor, the Maine Coast, New York and often in the seaport town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts where he painted outdoor scenes.
