Frederick Stanton Perkins (1832–1899) was an American portrait and landscape painter, farmer, and noted collector who was closely associated with Burlington, Wisconsin. Born in New York, Perkins studied painting under Hudson River School artist Jasper Francis Cropsey and later traveled and painted in the Adirondacks and Europe. His work included carefully observed landscapes and portraits, but he is perhaps equally notable for his extensive study and collection of Native American stone and copper artifacts. Over the course of his life, he amassed tens of thousands of archaeological objects and meticulously reproduced many of them in paintings, documenting their forms, markings, and colors. His artistic and collecting activities made him an important figure in the cultural history of 19th-century Wisconsin.
