A hard-working fine-art painter, muralist and panoramist, Frank Peyraud (Bulle, Switzerland, 1858 – 1948) earned a lasting reputation for rural landscapes, especially snow scenes in broadly defined forms and glowing colours. Excepting a trip from 1921 to 1923 to Italy and Switzerland, he was based in Chicago, where a Registrar of the Chicago Art Institute in a materials for a travelling exhibition, described him as the "dean of Chicago landscape artists."
