Delving into Frederick Sandys's unconventional life, Betty Elzea's
research reveals much about his complicated and often scandalous
relationships. Born and educated in Norwich with an artisan
background, Sandys was bohemian by nature, though from necessity,
to the world at large, he appeared genteel and respectable.
Unfortunately disorganised, un-businesslike and preferring to live
alone as a bachelor in lodgings, he struggled to support two
growing families of illegitimate children. From youth, developing
skills as a draughtsman and painter, he moved to London, meeting
Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites and their
associates, while keeping a foothold in Norwich where he maintained
friendships and enjoyed the support of the Norfolk gentry and
several notable Norwich industrialists. Norfolk landscape painting
and nature studies led to commissioned portraiture which became his
main source of income. He is known for depictions of beautiful
women in legendary disguises as well as meticulously-detailed
portraits of elderly women. He also pioneered a new type of
large-scale portrait drawing in chalks.
