Fernand Lungren (1857–1932) was an American painter and illustrator. He is mostly known for his paintings of American South Western landscapes and scenes (in California, New Mexico, Arizona) as well as for his earlier New York and European city street scenes.
He is famous for his vibrantly colored paintings of the Southern California desert, especially in the Death Valley and Mojave Desert area, which remarkably express the immensity, colors and solitude of these landscapes.
