ALFRED POLLENTINE (1836-1890)

The artist is best known for his beautifully depicted Venetian scenes,Alfred being the best known of a family of artists which included R.J.Pollentine (fl. 1852-62) a painter of landscapes and animals, and W.H.Pollentine (fl. 1847 - 50) who painted coastal and shipping scenes.

>

Most renowned for his substantial body of work depicting scenes of Venice, Alfred Pollentine occasionally painted views of familiar English coastal landmarks (Whitby, Scarborough, St. Michaels Mount, Tynemouth etc); and much more rarely, continental ports.

>

Obviously interested by the relationship of town and water, Alfred Pollentine's is a fluid smooth style, in which fine use of line is combined with a distinctive and Italianate use of pastel colouring.

>

Although he exhibited at the major London galleries during the period 1861 - 1880, showing 2 works at the British Institution and 23 at the Royal Society of British Artists, Pollentine had a robust market for his work and he rarely needed to exhibit during latter part of his long career as an artist.

>

This huge example within a stunningly decorative period frame is one of the best works around in todays sought after market for his works,which paintings a fraction of the size still selling for thousands at the best auctions in London.

>

This substantial work was obviously for a very wealthy client,who has spared no expense in the shear scale of the commission,being one on its own for size,and making this example a are and collectible painting.

>

The canvas has had a professional re-line to a high standard and is well strengthened as a result of work.

>

This is one of the most spectacularly decorative swept gilt frames seen for a long while and absolutely makes the painting a million dollars in looks.Very original hand made plaster moulded design with the odd but unnoticeable old repair.
