SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Frederick Sandys was born in Norwich in 1829 and died in London in 1904. He first trained with his father, a drawing master and portrait painter. Close to Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s circle, he developed work inspired by medieval, biblical and Arthurian subjects. He was also an illustrator and portraitist, producing coloured-chalk drawings attentive to clothing, hairstyles and jewellery.
May Margaret, painted in 1865–66 and held by the Delaware Art Museum, depicts a red-haired woman whose model may have been his partner Mary Jones or her sister. In Medea, about 1866–68, in Birmingham, the heroine prepares a spell against Glauce while Jason’s ship sails away in the background. In 1898 Sandys became a founding member of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers.
