Biography
Sir Frank Brangwyn’s remarkable body of work reflects his fascination with diverse cultures and a profound, humane appreciation of the lifestyles and landscapes he encountered during his travels. Born in Belgium in 1867, Brangwyn’s family returned to London in 1875, where he became an apprentice at William Morris’ studio. His painting was accepted by the Royal Academy for the 1885 Summer Exhibition, marking the start of a long and distinguished career across multiple media. Brangwyn worked in oil and watercolour, produced etchings, and established himself as an accomplished illustrator. He was also a celebrated muralist, including a notable commission for the renowned Parisian gallery L’Art Nouveau. Brangwyn died in 1956.
