Portrait of an Artist: Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys



As a small contribution to our readers’ vast array of knowledge about the arts, I am pleased to provide a brief introduction to a current and worthy artist. Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys is not a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but his works seem to be Pre-Raphaelite in nature. Although Sandys is the creator of several lovely paintings and chalk drawings, he is gaining much fame for his pen-drawings. Any observer of his artwork will surely appreciate his vivid use of color. The works of Sandys portray a wide span of emotions. In his artwork, men are shown to be strong, while women are shown to be gentle. The beautiful works of this up-and-coming artist are not to be missed.






Queen Eleanor, 1858
