Victorian Visions
There are superb examples from the Victorian period in RAMM's collection which include works by William Powell Frith, Frank Holl, and Edward J Poynter (1836-1919).
These paintings were acquired by the Museum via gifts and bequests and offer a unique insight into Victorian picture-collecting practice.
The paintings are primarily British and range from ‘sentimental' paintings by Kate Greenaway and John Wainwright; to a post Pre-Raphaelite painting by Poynter; to Landscape and Portraiture by Danby and Frith. Frith's work The Fair Toxophilites is of the artist's children is one of the Royal Albert Memorial Museums most well known Victorian painting.
