Frank Dicksee.

Sir Francis Bernard Dicksee, mer känd som Frank Dicksee, född 27 november 1853, död 17 oktober 1928, var en brittisk konstnär.

Frank Dicksee var son till konstnären Thomas Francis Dicksee, och hans farbror John Robert Dicksee var också målare. Han växte upp i Fitzroy Square i London.[1] Först studerade han under sin far men sedan började han vid Royal Academy Schools där hans lärare var John Everett Millais och Frederic Leighton.[2] Dicksee började ställa ut 1876,[3] och fick mer uppmärksamhet efter att Tate Gallery köpte hans målning Harmony i slutet av 1870-talet. År 1881 blev han associate i Royal Academy, år 1891 fullvärdig akademiledamot och 1924 utsågs han till akademins ordförande.[2]

Dicksee vann berömmelse med sina bilder med romantiska ämnen som motiv ur Arthursagan, Tristan och Isolde och andra medeltidsdikter, Dantes Divina commedia med mera. Han blev även känd för sina eleganta damporträtt.[3]

El funeral de un vikingo, por Frank Dicksee.jpg
Dark and dramatic depiction of the funeral of a Viking, his body being set to sea on a burning pyre. Standing on the shore, to the right of the composition, are a crowd of Viking men and soldiers with arms and weapons raised as the burning ship carrying the body is pushed out. Most prominent of these figures is that of an armoured man standing forward of the crowd, wearing a crested helmet and a breast-plate with raised ornamentation, with his right arm raised and holding a flaming torch in his left. The boat, with a stern carved into the form of the head of a mythical beast, is hauled into the rough sea by muscular male figures; the recumbent body of the dead Viking, fully armoured, is surrounded by flames. In the background are austere, rocky mountains seen under a dark and stormy sky. Most of the scene is illuminated by the glow of the burning pyre and the torch of the foreground figure, which is reflected in the water and the glistening shore. Frame: designed by the artist: gilt, carved wood; decorated with classical motifs but also with a running chain pattern which is one of the features of the Viking Borre style of ornament, which flourished in the 9th and 10th centuries.
