Robert Frier RSA (1855–1912) was a Scottish artist. He specialised in landscapes.
Life[]
He was born in Edinburgh in 1855.[1] His father also Robert was a draper with a shop on the Lawnmarket in the Old Town and living at Ratcliffe Terrace in the South Side.[2] As there is a Robert Frier exhibiting at the Royal Scottish Academy from 1853 this may indicate that his father also had artistic talent. His older brother Henry (Harry) Frier (1849-1921) was also an artist.[3]
In 1880 he was living in a flat at 62 Queen Street, Edinburgh.[4]
By 1890 he is living in a much larger house at 108 George Street and is listed as a "landscape artist and teacher of drawing and painting".[5]
By 1895 he has left Edinburgh, possibly to live with his brother Henry in London.
