Hugo Naudé (1869–1941) was a South African painter and one of the country's first professional artists. Born in Worcester, Western Cape, Naudé trained at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and the Kunst Akademie in Munich. Influenced by the Barbizon School in France, he developed a unique Cape Impressionist style, capturing the vivid landscapes of Southern Africa with bold colors and dynamic compositions.
His works often depicted the Namaqualand wildflowers, the Drakensberg mountains, and coastal scenes. Naudé's commitment to plein air painting and his adaptation of European techniques to the African landscape left a lasting impact on South African art. His home in Worcester, known as the Hugo Naudé House, is preserved as a museum and art center, celebrating his contributions to the country's artistic heritage.
