The late Mr. A. D. Fripp, 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'Mr. Alfred Downing Fripp...was the younger of two brothers whose names will always bo associated with English water-colour painting...After some years of study at Bristol he joined his brother, who was already established in London, and set himself to improve his work by study at the British Museum and at the Royal Academy schools. At the age of twenty-two he was elected an Associate of the "old" Water Colour Society. In the summer of the same year he set off with three brother-artists, Messrs. F. Goodall, F. W. Topham, and Mark Anthony, on a tour in the West of Ireland, and Alfred Fripp at first made his mark as a figure-painter, his favourite subjects being groups of Irish peasantry, and later he added similar "notes" of his wanderings in Wales and the Highlands of Scotland. In 1846 he had been elected a full member of the Water-Colour Society, where he regularly exhibited and was highly appreciated. In 1850 he went to Rome, and from this time Italian subjects mainly occupied his brush. After his return to England in 1858 he became more and more distinctly the painter of English scenery, Blandford and Swanage especially attracting him, and becoming his temporary home'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
