Artist
Frederick Barnard
Frederick Barnard is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Frederick Barnard painted scenes from popular 19th-century fiction in watercolour. In 1874 he dipped his brush into “Barnaby Rudge and the Raven Grip” to show the young hero and his eerie bird sidekick. He also captured Dickens’s fast-talking rogue “Mr Alfred Jingle” mid-gesture, all done in soft, portable watercolours.
These pictures were meant to sit on a drawing-room table, not a gallery wall. Tap “Mr Alfred Jingle” to see how Barnard turned printed words into living colour.
