Frederick Lee Bridell

1831–1863

Biography

Frederick Lee Bridell (baptised 5 December 1830 – 20 August 1863) was a popular painter of 19th century Britain, initially as a portrait artist. He gained favour with Elizabeth Barrett Browning who entertained him and his wife (Eliza Bridell Fox, a fellow artist), for their wedding meal at Bocca di Leone, Rome in 1859.

His early professional career was as an apprentice to a picture dealer (Edwin Holder) who had him copy pictures by Old Masters and also funded his education abroad.
