Lionel Walden, born May 22, 1861 in Norwich, Connecticut and died July 12, 1933 in Chantilly, Oise, is an American painter, specialized in landscape painting and marines, member of the Volcano School and having stayed in Hawaii, Cornwall and France
Born in Norwich, Connecticut, Lionel Walden was one of the finest painters from across the Atlantic who came to France to study under the masters. The son of an Episcopal pastor, the young man was introduced to art in Minnesota before leaving the United States to settle in Paris, where he studied with Carolus-Duran, whose studio hosted many English and American artists. Apart from various stays in England (1893-1897) and Hawaii (after 1911), the painter never left France again until his accidental death, caused by a fall in a garden from the top of a staircase, in 1931. Walden was a "painter of the sea," in the noblest sense of the term. His fascination with it was such that even when he became interested in the poetry of the modern world and painted railways and locomotives, he set them in ports.
