William Powell Frith - Paintings
William Powell Frith was a recognized English painter of the Victorian era, honored with numerous medals, who first did not want to start an artistic career.
Born: 19 January 1819 in Aldfield, North Yorkshire
Died: 09 November 1909 in London
William Powell Frith, whose art-loving parents push him into a painter's career, completes his education at the Royal Academy School in London. After initial attempts to find his style in portrait and genre painting, from 1850, Frith starts to get enthusiastic about the depiction of everyday crowd scenes. Now, panoramic paintings are produced that show huge crowds during festivities and leisure activities. Overwhelmed by national awards, he quickly also gains international honors. His pleasing, large-format paintings impress with their exhilarating, almost stage-like character. Even in his late work, William Powell Frith remains faithful to the Victorian art style, and firmly attacks contemporary and new aspirations like the Pre-Raphaelite movement as well as Impressionism.
