William Powell Frith

William Powell Frith was a British painter.

Frith studied at the Royal Academy School and fairly quickly began to exhibit there, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Academy in 1852. Frith became famous for his scenes of contemporary English life, including those with moralizing overtones. His multi-figure, complex compositions depict a wide variety of Victorian backgrounds. He was a traditionalist and an opponent of the Pre-Raphaelites, ridiculing them in his works.
