Frederick Sandys Biography

(b Norwich, 1 May 1829; d London, 25 June 1904). English painter, illustrator and draughtsman. He was the son of Anthony Sands (1804–83), a minor local artist. He began his artistic education with his father and attended the Norwich School of Design from 1846. His precocious talent was recognized by the award of silver medals by the Society of Arts in 1846 and 1847. He moved to London in 1851, when he first exhibited at the Royal Academy, but he continued to spend time at Norwich until the death of his parents in 1883. After publishing in 1857 A Nightmare , a gentle caricature of John Ruskin and his Pre-Raphaelite protégés William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti and based on Millais’s Sir Isumbras at the Ford (Port Sunlight, Lady Lever A.G.), he met Rossetti and became a member of his circle. Sandys was an intimate friend of Rossetti from 1861 until 1869, when the latter accused him of plagiarism.
