Frank Bramley RA (6 May 1857 – 9 August 1915)[nb 1] was an English post-impressionist genre painter of the Newlyn School.

[5] In contrast to other members of the Newlyn school, Bramley specialised in interiors[2] and worked on combining natural and artificial light in his paintings, such as A Hopeless Dawn.

[5] His A Hopeless Dawn (1888) is held by the Tate Gallery, London after having been purchased for the nation by the Chantrey Bequest and is one of Bramley's most favored works.

The painting was referenced in an April 2010 General Conference address by President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Thomas S. Monson.

Bramley was one of the founders of the New English Art Club, but left the organization after having received condemning comments from Walter Sickert.
