thomas dicksee, a painter himself, taught frank, along with his sister margaret, from a young age. this early exposure to art laid the foundation for frank's future success.

dicksee enrolled in the
royal academy schools in 1870, achieving early success and eventually becoming a member of the academy in 1891. he was elected president in 1924 and knighted in 1925, with king george v naming him to the
royal victorian order in 1927.

the funeral of a viking (1893), now housed at the
manchester art gallery. this piece was donated to the corporation of manchester in 1928 by arthur burton. victorian critics praised its perfection as a showpiece, while also criticizing its dramatic and somewhat staged setting.
