New Associate of the Royal Academy: Mr. Frank Dicksee, A.R.A., 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Charles Watkins. 'Mr. "Frank" Dicksee, as he is always called, may be said to have been cradled in art. His father, Mr. T. F. Dicksee, has been long known as a painter with a delicate sense of beauty and of finished execution. The subject of our notice was born in London in 1853, and from an early age occupied himself diligently with drawing and painting, and gave promise of more than ordinary ability. Seeing that his son was bent on devoting himself to art, the father gave him encouragement and instruction preparatory to his entering (at the age of seventeen) as a student of the Royal Academy. In 1872 young Dicksee there obtained the silver medal in the Antique school; and three years later carried off the gold medal for the best historical painting, the subject being "Elijah Reproving Ahab." The picture was exhibited at the Academy the following year. The next year the picture entitled "Harmony" appeared at Burlington House, and had a great success. It was purchased by the Academicians as trustees of the Chantrey Fund: it has been etched by Waltner, and is now...at the South Kensington Museum'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
