Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith (1846-1923) was born in London, England and
died in Toronto, Ontario. His earliest training was under his artist
father. He attended the South Kensington School of Art under Alexander
Hamilton until his family emigrated to Montreal, Quebec in 1867. Later,
he studied in Paris at the Academie Colarossi under Joseph-Paul Blanc,
Gustave Courtois, and Edmond-Louis Dupain. The artist arrived in
London, Ontario in 1881 where he was appointed Art Director of Alma
College (St.Thomas) and, the following year, Drawing Master at Central
Public School. In 1888 he moved to Toronto where he was named principal
of the western branch of the Toronto Art School. He continued to serve
at Alma College until 1901. Bell-Smith was a founding member of the
Society of Canadian Artists, the Ontario Society of Artists, and the
Western Art League. He was elected an Academician in the Royal Canadian
Academy and played important roles in many local and national artistic
associations. His work was very popular in his lifetime: he painted
portrait, genre, and landscape subjects in both oil and watercolour in
the impressionistic, picturesque, and sublime styles of the last
century. Bell-Smith also won many international honors in his career
