Many of Frampton’s landscapes date from slightly later in his career and were painted when his literary, allegorical and figure subjects were beginning to go out of fashion. However, the Arts and Crafts influence that pervades those paintings remain in evidence in the landscape works which convey the same formal, decorative style as they do in the background to his larger figure pictures. Throughout is the influence of one of his artistic heroes, Edward Burne-Jones.
