Frédéric Fregevize, a Swiss landscape painter, was born in Geneva in 1770, and died there in 1849. He lived for a long time in Berlin, and was elected in 1820 to membership of the Academy; he returned to Geneva in 1829, and went to Dessau in 1839. The Berlin National Gallery contains views painted by him of The Lake of Geneva, and The Valley of the Rhone, near Geneva.
