  William Powell Frith, RA: An Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Frith was born in Yorkshire; he studied painting at Sass's Academy and at the Royal Academy Schools.
Frith did continue to paint the historical and literary subjects that he had concentrated on in the 1840s, but much more interesting are his contemporary subjects, which are always rich with anecdotal and moralistic ingredients.
Frith exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1840 until 1902 and may be regarded as the pre-eminently "victorian" artist.

 On the Meaning of Frith
Frith was nothing if not partisan: focused on security and stability of the kindred, it had no appl ication to those individuals and groups who lay outside the boundaries when it came to a conflict of interest between the two.
Frith between lord and man was expressed much as the frith of kinship: there were mutual obligations and benefits, including the requirement for the man not to raise hand or voice against his lord, and the lord not to punish or deprive his man and the man’s dependents unjustly.
Frith was felt to be so essential to the life of the folk, that those who were removed from the natural innangardhs of traditional society during the Middle Ages felt the need to create new hearths of frith for themselves: the frithguilds.

 The Meaning of Frith
Frith as the peace and security guaranteed by membership in a community can be seen in its meaning as "the restoration of rights to an outlaw." Among the ancient Germanic peoples an outlaw was someone who, having committed a crime, was declared as being outside the law, or no longer a part of society.
Essentially the frithguilds insured that the frith was not broken--that the community as a whole remained peaceful--and in doing so insured that the community was a "secure refuge" for those who lived in it.
Frith, as the state of peace and security which allows the community to surivive, is then also a state which allows the law--the tribe and its customs--to survive.

In 1863, Frith was informed by Sir Charles Eastlake, President of the Royal Academy, that the Queen wished him to paint a picture of the forthcoming wedding ceremony of her son the Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
