Henry Charles Innes Fripp was an English painter, genre artist and illustrator, stained glass maker, designer, and teacher. Many of his illustrations appear under the name Innes Fripp.
He was born in 1867 to a family of well known public officials and artists. His actual birth date is unknown, but church records show he was christened on 10 May 1867 at Clifton, St John the Evangelist, Gloucestershire, England. His father was Samuel Charles Fripp and his mother was Clara Fripp. Samuel Charles Fripp was an architect and sculptor, and a committee member of the Royal West of England Academy. His uncle was the noted landscape painter George Arthur Fripp of the Royal Watercolour Society, while his great great grandfather was the highly regarded maritime painter Nicholas Pocock. His cousin was the surgeon Sir Alfred Downing Fripp. Downing Fripp wrote "Human Anatomy For Art Students" illustrated by Innes Fripp published in 1911 by J. B. Lippincott, Philadelphia.
Fripp studied at the Bristol School of Art and the Royal College of Art before moving on to study in Paris. He also taught at the Royal College of Art where he was an Assistant Master, the Lambeth School of Art, and at Queen's College in London where he was Professor of Art.
His exhibits include 19 paintings shown at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1893 and 1946, featuring a design for a stained glass window entitled "The Danaids", and the paintings The Waterwitch, Evening Light, and The Forum: Pompei, 21 paintings with the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 17 works at the Dudley Gallery, and several exhibited at the Walker Gallery, Manchester City Art Gallery and the New Gallery in London, once a prominent venue for Pre-Raphaelite, Aesthetic movement and industrial and applied arts.
