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.

Punta della Dogana is an art museum in one of Venice's old customs buildings, the Dogana da Mar. It also refers to the triangular area of Venice where the Grand Canal meets the Giudecca Canal, and its collection of buildings: the church of Santa Maria della Salute, (hence the area is also known as Punta della Salute), the Patriarchal Seminary of Venice, and Dogana da Mar at the triangle's tip.

FAQs

Victorian Venetian landscape paintings typically feature topographical views of Venice, focusing on landmark architecture, canals, and gondolas. Artists of this period often emphasised light, atmospheric skies, and detailed reflections in water, catering to British travellers during the Grand Tour movement.

Paintings from this period were predominantly executed using oil pigments on stretched linen or cotton canvas. Frames were typically crafted from wooden mouldings coated in composition ornament (compo) and finished with leaf gilding.

Authentic paintings display natural craquelure across the paint surface, historic oxidation on the reverse of the canvas, and artist signatures matching documented signatures. The construction of the stretcher bars and cast details on the giltwood frame also provide verification of age.

A traditional gilt-framed painting creates an effective visual contrast when hung against dark walls in contemporary spaces. It can serve as a focal point above a modern sideboard or fireplace mantel, bridging historical artwork with minimalist furnishings.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to prevent cracking or warping. Lightly dust the frame with a dry soft brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the delicate gilding or paint layer.
