Alfred Pollentine

is best known as an accomplished painter of Venetian scenes, although he also did paint some English coastal views. Many of his paintings were done in an impressionistic style.

Pollentine exhibited numerous works at several of the top galleries in England from 1861 through 1880, including two of London's most prestigious ones, the British Institution and Society of British Artists.

R. J. Pollentine and W. H. Pollentine are also recorded artists and are believed to be his father and brother.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Venetian landscapes, or vedute, depict architectural views and water traffic along the canals of Venice. Influenced by earlier Grand Tour traditions, these oil paintings focus on light, atmosphere, and detailed representations of famous landmarks.

These works were painted using oil pigments applied to stretched linen canvas. Frames from this period were typically constructed from carved wood or moulded composition covered in gold leaf.

Authentic period paintings feature age-related craquelure across the paint surface, historic wood stretcher bars, and period-appropriate signatures. The frames often show evidence of natural gesso wear and hand-applied gilding.

A pair of framed landscapes can be hung symmetrically above a dining room sideboard or living room sofa to create a focal point. The rich gold tones of the frames balance both neutral plaster walls and deep, saturated paint colours.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent canvas warping and paint cracking. Dust the surfaces gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions.
