Edward Brian (Ted) Seago RBA ARWS RWS (31 March 1910 - 19 January 1974) was an English artist who painted in both oils and watercolours. The son of a coal merchant, born in Norwich, Seago was a self-taught artist, (although he received advice from Sir Alfred Munnings and Bernard Priestman), and enjoyed a wide range of admirers from the British Royal family and the Aga Khan to the common man. His works have been classified as either Impressionist or Post-Impressionist and included landscapes, seascapes, skyscapes, street scenes, his garden and portraits.
