Frederick John Widgery (May 1861 – 27 January 1942), was an English artist who painted landscapes and coastal scenery in Devon and Cornwall.
Frederick was the younger son of William Widgery (1826–1893), a self-taught artist.[1] He studied at the Exeter School of Art and went on to the South Kensington Museum School and then to Antwerp,[2] studying under Charles Verlat at the National Art School. Returning to England, he studied at Hubert von Herkomer's School at Bushey in Hertfordshire and in 1903 became Mayor of Exeter.[3][4] Frederick's sister, Julia (Widgery) Slaughter, was also a portrait and landscape painter.
