I travelled to see Faces in the Fire By Frank Holl at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King. Francis Montague Holl was born in 1845 and painted this wonderful oil on canvas in 1867. The Ashmolean tell us that “Holl made his name as a painter of genre subjects, before turning to portraits. Faces in the Fire was one of his earliest successes when exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1867. A young girl gazes into the fire, oblivious of the cat whose saucer is broken. The birdcage, a common attribute of servitude, indicates that she is a servant or a hard-worked daughter of the house”. Such a beautiful painting
