{"title":"Fripp, Alfred Downing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlfred Downing Fripp (1822-1895)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an English painter who specialised in watercolours of rural genre figures. He was the grandson of the marine artist Nicholas Pocock, a brother of the painter George Arthur Fripp, and father of the surgeon Sir Alfred Downing Fripp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFripp was born in Bristol and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts. He held his first exhibition in 1842, his initial works featuring Irish and Welsh peasants in landscape settings. In 1844, he became an associate of the Old Watercolour Society, progressing to full membership in 1846, and ultimately becoming its secretary from 1870 onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the death of his first wife in 1850, he spent four years in Italy, where he became friends in Rome with Frederick Leighton and Edward Poynter. During this period, his subjects became Italian, mostly young peasants. On his return in 1854, he reverted to painting British subjects.[3] After a second, briefer, Italian visit in 1859 he married Eliza Banister Roe. He had a particular interest in Dorset scenery around Lulworth. Many of Eliza's younger siblings were models for his paintings, including \"the Fisher Boy\". He died, aged 72, in London.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fripp-alfred-downing-1822-1895-watching-the-porpoises-1863","title":"Fripp, Alfred Downing (1822-1895) - Watching the Porpoises 1863","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the British artist Alfred Downing Fripp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 3784 pixels wide by 5416 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/fripp-alfred-downing\" title=\"Alfred Downing Fripp\"\u003eAlfred Downing Fripp\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61232621355338,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Fripp_AlfredDowning_1822-1895_-WatchingthePorpoises1863_main.jpg?v=1772452509"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Fripp_Alfred_Downing_1822-1895-3662045.jpg?v=1772450093","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/fripp-alfred-downing.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
