Frank Dicksee was born in London on November 27, 1853. His education began in 1870 at the Reverend George Henslow’s school in Bloomsbury. While still a student, in 1872, he exhibited at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street. After five years at the Rev. Henslow’s school Dicksee left to study in preparation for entering the Royal Academy schools. He earned a silver and gold medal from the Academy in 1872 and 1875, respectively. His most popular work, Harmony, was picture of the year in 1877, and he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1881. He became a full Academician in 1891 and was elected President shortly thereafter. He died on October 17, 1928.
