Frédéric Soulacroix (1858–1933) was a French-Italian painter. He was born in Rome and his parents were fresco painters and sculptors, Charles Soulacroix and Giacinta Diofebo.
In 1873 Frédéric Soulacroix enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arte in Florence and in 1876 in the Scuola di Pittura.
He remained in Florence for many years and he was to become enduringly successful to the historical costume genre of Florence. His subjects ranged from 17th century historical subjects, courtiers and noblewomen to those of the 18th and 19th century, women dressed at the height of fashion in Empire style, subjects which allowed Soulacroix the opportunity to demonstrate his extraordinary skill and technique.
Frédéric Soulacroix married in June 1890 in Florence Fernande Blanc with whom he had four sons and a daughter. In 1924 he was nominated Officier d’Academie, recognition of his enormous success, his works being widely collected particularly in England together with North and South America.
