| Occupation | Painter |
Frederick James Aldridge (1850–1933) was a British painter in oils and watercolourist, known for painting marine scenes, which made up the great majority of his large output. He was very prolific, and his paintings appear frequently at auction. Typical subjects include a small number of mid-size vessels at sea or in a harbour, in a variety of weathers.
He was born in 1850,[1] he did not take up painting until he was twenty years old.[2] He lived and worked in Worthing,[1] where he had a gallery shop.[2] He signed his works ‘F J Aldridge’,[3] and sometimes dated them.
He attended Cowes Week many times over a period of around fifty-years.[1] Three of his works were exhibited at the Royal Academy and twelve at the Suffolk Street Galleries.[1] His painting of the harbour at Littlehampton is in the collection of Littlehampton Museum.[4]
Failing eyesight forced him to stop painting in 1927.[2] He died in 1933, aged 83.[1]
