Many of his paintings contain a dramatic, historical and legendary scenes. He was also a noted painter of fine, highly-finished portraits of fashionable women, which of course brought him material success. Many of these portraits are so beautiful, that's really hard to treat them with disapproval - happy, was the fashionable lady, whose portrait was written by Dixie!
He was one of those artists of the nineteenth century, which experienced a revolution in the art of the twentieth century.
