Frederick Millard
Frederick Millard (* 1857 in Islington , London ; † 1937 ) was an English late Impressionist painter and representative of the Newlyn School , an artist colony from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Since 1882, numerous painters had settled in the small fishing village of Newlyn in the southwestern English county of Cornwall , including Walter Langley , Edwin Harris , Ralph Todd , Frank Bramley , Thomas Cooper Gotch , Albert Chevallier Tayler and Stanhope Forbes . Fred Millard left London in 1884 and moved to Newlyn in order to pursue open-air painting like his artist colleagues in an undisturbed environment . He mostly painted everyday scenes from simple country life and submitted his works to the Royal Academy of Arts , where they were shown at the annual exhibition in 1885, 1887 and 1888. In the 1890s he shared a studio in Newlyn with Ralph Todd. His works are still traded in galleries and at auctions today and are mostly privately owned. Some of the works can be seen at Penlee House in Penzance .
