Question: Frederick (Fred) Barnard, was an English illustrator, caricaturist and genre painter,of the Victorian era, the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on which date?
Context: Theatre in the Victorian era is regarded as history of theatre during the era ruled by Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901.  It was a time during which literature and theatre flourished.  During her reign a lot of new theatres were built along with theatre schools.  It was also during her reign when political reforms came into practice which led to the openness of theatre and literature.  Theatre openly displayed and played dramas relating to social problems.  Generally it was a period which brought prosperity to the middle class of England, and started to challenge the old hierarchical order of country. Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Empire from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.  At the start of her reign, responsible government outside of the United Kingdom itself was unknown, but starting in the 1840s this would change. The Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria was celebrated on 20 June 1887 on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of her accession on 20 June 1837.  It was celebrated with a banquet to which 50 European kings and princes were invited. Jerry Barrett (1824–1906) was an English painter of the Victorian era.  His most notable work was the Crimean War depiction ""The Mission of Mercy: Nightingale receiving the wounded at Scutari"" (1858) which is in the National Portrait Gallery (London), paired with ""Queen Victoria's First Visit to her Wounded Soldiers"".  There is documentation to suggest that Barrett traveled to the Crimea to obtain sketches for his pictures.  "Queen Victoria's First Visit to Her Wounded Soldiers" was exhibited at the Royal Exhibition Gallery in Piccadilly in May, 1856, and engraved by Agnews.  It was Thomas Agnew who purchased "The Mission of Mercy" from the artist in August 1857, and exhibited it at Leggatt and Hayward Gallery in Cornhill in the summer of 1858 at the height of the Indian Mutiny. Victorian architecture is a series of architectural revival styles in the mid-to-late 19th century.  "Victorian" refers to the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), called the Victorian era, during which period the styles known as Victorian were used in construction.  However, many elements of what is typically termed "Victorian" architecture did not become popular until later in Victoria's reign.  The styles often included interpretations and eclectic revivals of historic styles mixed with the introduction of Middle Eastern and Asian influences.  The name represents the British and French custom of naming architectural styles for a reigning monarch.  Within this naming and classification scheme, it follows Georgian architecture and later Regency architecture, and was succeeded by Edwardian architecture. The British Army during the Victorian era served through a period of great technological and social change.  Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, and died in 1901.  Her long reign was marked by the steady expansion and consolidation of the British Empire, and industrialisation and the enactment of liberal reforms (by both Liberal and Conservative governments) within Britain. Victorian painting refers to the distinctive styles of painting in the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901).  Victoria's early reign was characterised by rapid industrial development and social and political change, which made the United Kingdom one of the most powerful and advanced nations in the world.  Painting in the early years of her reign was dominated by the Royal Academy of Arts and by the theories of its first president, Joshua Reynolds.  Reynolds and the academy were strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael, and believed that it was the role of an artist to make the subject of their work appear as noble and idealised as possible.  This had proved a successful approach for artists in the pre-industrial period, where the main subjects of artistic commissions were portraits of the nobility and military and historical scenes.  By the time of Victoria's accession to the throne this approach was coming to be seen as stale and outdated.  The rise of the wealthy middle class had changed the art market, and a generation who had grown up in an industrial age believed in the importance of accuracy and attention to detail, and that the role of art was to reflect the world, not to idealise it. Frederick (Fred) Barnard (16 May 1846 – 28 September 1896) was a Victorian English illustrator, caricaturist and genre painter.  He is noted for his work on the novels of Charles Dickens published between 1871 and 1879 by Chapman and Hall. The status of women in the Victorian era was often seen as an illustration of the striking discrepancy between the United Kingdom's national power and wealth and what many, then and now, consider its appalling social conditions.  During the era symbolized by the reign of British monarch Queen Victoria, women did not have the right to vote, sue, or own property.  At the same time, women participated in the paid workforce in increasing numbers following the Industrial Revolution.  Feminist ideas spread among the educated middle classes, discriminatory laws were repealed, and the women's suffrage movement gained momentum in the last years of the Victorian era. In the history of the United Kingdom, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.  The era followed the Georgian period and preceded the Edwardian period, and its later half overlaps with the first part of the "Belle Époque" era of continental Europe.  Defined according to sensibilities and political concerns, the period is sometimes considered to begin with the passage of the Reform Act 1832.  The period is characterised as one of relative peace among the great powers (as established by the Congress of Vienna), increased economic activity, "refined sensibilities" and national self-confidence for Great Britain.
