What was the working location for Henri Jean-Baptiste Victoire Fradelle from 1831 to 1837?
Henri Jean-Baptiste Victoire Fradelle Henri Jean-Baptiste Victoire Fradelle ( 1778–1865 ) was a Franco-English Victorian painter and portraitist , specializing in literary , historical , and religious subjects . For more than a hundred years , he was confused with his son , Henry Joseph Fradelle ( 1805–1872 ) , who was trained as an artist but had several professions , including infirmary supervisor . It was only in the first decade of the 21st century that this mistake was identified and that biographies , lists , and auction houses gave Fradelle his rightful name . Life . Fradelle was born in Lille on 15 June 1778 . His father was Joseph Guillaume Fradelle , a musician , and his mother was Adelaide Geneviève Valla , both from Paris . Fradelle studied under Joseph-Benoît Suvée at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris . He left for Italy in 1808 and lived there until 1816 . He then moved to London , which became his home , apart from a few years spent in Paris between 1830 and 1837 . Over a period of about 30 years in England , Fradelle exhibited 36 pictures at the British Institution , including The Cloister of the Carthusians at Rome Built by Michael Angelo ; The Porch of St . Ambrose at Milan ; Chatelar Playing the Lute to Mary Queen of Scots ; Belinda at Her Toilette ; The Earl of Leicesters Visit to Amy Robsart at Cumnor Place ; Ivanhoe , Queen Elizabeth and Lady Paget ; Origin of Painting ; Souvenirs dItalie—Il Sospiro , an Italian Dance ; and Othello and Desdemona . Fradelle also exhibited 11 works at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition , including Milton Dictating Paradise Lost to His Daughter , The Death of Adelaide , Othello Relating the Story of His Life to Brabantio and Desdemona , and Olivia and Viola . In addition , he presented works at the Royal Society of British Artists , the Old Water-Colour Society , and the Paris Salon , where he won a medal in 1834 . Fradelle also painted and exhibited portraits , such as those of Mrs . Jeffery , Mr . Thomas H . Johnston , and Captain Basset , R.A. , as well as miniature portraits like Miss Stephens as Susanna in Marriage of Figaro . Fradelle died at 36 Weymouth Street , Portland Place , London , on 14 March 1865 and is buried at Kensal Green Cemetery . He was 86 . Works . Fradelles works were bought by such notables as Lord Holland ( Holland House ) , the Earl of Egremont ( Petworth House ) , Lord Northwick , Wynn Ellis , J . Marshall of Leeds , and the Duke of Leuchtenberg of Munich . The Earl of Leicesters Visit to Amy Robsart at Cumnor Place is exhibited at Petworth House ( the preparatory drawing for the latter is in the British Museum , London ) , and Fradelles Othello Relating the Story of His Life to Brabantio and Desdemona is now part of the Royal Shakespeare Company Collection in Stratford upon Avon . Drawings by Fradelle can be found at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux , France . Many of Fradelles works were engraved by artists such as Charles Turner ( for example , The Earl of Leicesters Visit to Amy Robsart at Cumnor Place ) , William Say ( Queen Elizabeth and Lady Paget and Belinda at Her Toilette , as well as The Interview Between Lady Jane Grey and Dr . Roger Ascham ) , R . Smart ( Princess Elizabeth at Woodstock ) , J . Jazet ( Chatelar Playing the Lute to Mary Queen of Scots ) , V . Rogers and A .
