Abstract: "This complete catalogue of Frederick Sandys's work in all media is the definitive guide to the identification of his work." "An introduction by Douglas E. Schoenherr sets the scene and places Sandys with his Pre-Raphaelite contemporaries, including Rossetti and Millais, by outlining the circumstances of his life, his milieu, his character, and the development of his work." "The catalogue raisonne, beginning with Sandys's first efforts in 1839 and ending with his few last works in 1904, corrects past errors with newly researched facts. It also includes untraced works about which the author has unearthed new information. Seventy-seven works are illustrated in colour and over four hundred in black and white." "A documented chronology of Sandys's life is followed by fascinating detailed appendices on such diverse subjects as his patrons, friends, models, painting diaries, illustrations, print-making, book covers, frames, and signature styles." "The broad approach will appeal to scholars, collectors, dealers, museum curators, librarians and students of the fine and decorative arts, as well as to those who need to identify the increasing number of Sandys's works coming on to the market."--BOOK JACKET.
