J. Frank Currier (1843–1909) was a Boston-born American painter associated with the Munich School. After early studies in Boston, he trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and later in Munich, where he lived for nearly three decades among a circle of American expatriate painters. Known for his rich, expressive handling of paint and nuanced tonal effects, he exhibited in Europe and the United States, with works now held in institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Harvard Art Museums, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
