F. (Frederic) Edwin Church (1876-1975) was a painter in New York, New York, best known for his portraits.
Church attended the Art Students League and the Académie Julien in Paris and was awarded the Clark Prize in 1916 by the National Academy of Design for best figurative composition.
His works included gilded-age portraits, impressionist landscapes, and still lifes. He used botanical and bird motifs in many of his backgrounds, indicative of the Japanese influence in his work.
Church signed his works F. Edwin Church in order to distinguish himself from the unrelated Hudson River School artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900).
