Frederick Samuel Beaumont Portrait Paintings

Frederick Samuel Beaumont was born in Huddersfield and educated at the Camden House School, Brighton. He initially worked in a fancy goods warehouse in Brighton while continuing with his drawing. A chance meeting with E. Goodwyn Lewis persuaded him to change careers and he studied at the Royal Academy Schools from 1882–88, winning a silver medal in Life Study and the Académie Julian, Paris. Beaumont then spent time in France, Italy and Spain studying the Old Masters. He married and settled in Wimborne, Dorset. He was signed into the St. Ives Arts Club as a guest of Alfred Hartley in February 1912 and settled in the town during WWI in 1916. Beaumont leased 9 Richmond Terrace in that year and took a studio at Porthmeor. In 1918, he was elected onto the Lanhams Hanging Committee. In his later years, he lived in Kensington, London. Beaumont has done several exhibitions at Grosvenor Gallery, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, New Gallery, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Royal Scottish Academy.
