Frederick Mulhaupt (1871 - 1938). Frederick Mulhaupt was an American painter known for his landscapes and marine scenes, particularly in Gloucester and Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Born in New Jersey and later moving to Chicago for art studies, he was influenced by Impressionism and focused on light, color, and natural beauty. In the early 1900s, he relocated to Gloucester, drawn by its scenic coastal landscapes, and frequently painted the fishing industry, harbors, and local scenery. His technique involved vibrant colors and expressive brushwork to capture the essence of the coastal environment. Mulhaupt's works were exhibited in various institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, and he was a member of the Gloucester Art Association and the Chicago Society of Artists. His contributions to American Impressionism established him as an important figure in regional art, with his works housed in several museums, including the Cape Ann Museum.
