About Frederick Arthur Verner

Frederick Arthur Verner was a Canadian painter, well-known for his paintings of the First Nations in the Canadian west and for his paintings of buffalo. His pictures of the buffalo were thought to be “a class of subject where he stands almost alone and unrivalled,” said Toronto's The Globe in 1906. Verner set a standard in this department of art, it added in 1908.
