Frederick Barnard

Frederick Barnard is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Frederick Barnard painted scenes from popular 19th-century fiction in watercolour. In 1874 he dipped his brush into *“Barnaby Rudge and the Raven Grip”* to show the young hero and his eerie bird sidekick. He also captured Dickens’s fast-talking rogue *“Mr Alfred Jingle”* mid-gesture, all done in soft, portable watercolours. These pictures were meant to sit on a drawing-room table, not a gallery wall. Tap *“Mr Alfred Jingle”* to see how Barnard turned printed words into living colour.
