|
Brief Biography-Thomas Frye was born in Edenderry, Co Offaly, Ireland, in 1736; he settled in London, where he painted portraits and miniatures. Frye became famous for a porcelain factory in Bow in 1749, which closed shortly after his death. Mezzotints were his forte. James Latham is said to have influenced his work. Scholars agree that his work influenced Wright of Derby, especially his candlelight subjects like the mezzotint of a Boy with a Candle. He died in London in 1762. |
