Sir Frank Dicksee painted the moment in a story when everything hangs in the balance, and that sense of a scene caught mid-breath is what carries his work so well into counted cross stitch.
He was an English Victorian painter and illustrator, born in 1853 and died in 1928. Literary, historical and legendary subjects were his ground, and pictures such as La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Chivalry and The Two Crowns are the ones that kept his name alive. Alongside the history painting he built a reputation for portraits of fashionable women, and that steady demand did much to make him a success while he was still working rather than long after.
Other nineteenth-century painters: Giulio Rosati and Arthur Hughes.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Sir Frank Dicksee art prints are easy to find.
