George L. Noyes

George Loftus Noyes was born in Bothwell, Ontario, in 1864 and died in Peterborough, New Hampshire, in 1959. He was a painter of impressionist landscapes, harbor views, and still-lifes.

Noyes began his training at the Massachusetts Normal School with George Bartlett in the early 1880s and studied at the Académie Colarossi in Paris (1890-93). When Noyes was in Paris he studied with Gustave Courtois, Jean André Rixens, and Paul-Louis Delance.

After returning to the United States, Noyes centered his career in Boston, although frequently traveling abroad to Algeria, Mexico, and back to Europe. His first solo exhibition was held at Boston’s St. Botolph Club in 1915. That same year, Noyes exhibited at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco where one of his works was awarded a medal.
