Jane Vivian de Fleury ( Active 1869-1890 )

Jane Vivian was a landscape painter who lived in London. She is known particularly for her views of Venice and exhibited a number of works at the Society of British Artists, including views of Venice, Bruges, and Rouen. She also exhibited at several provincial galleries including the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham, The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Manchester City Gallery, and the Royal Hibernian Academy.

She came from a dynasty of topographical artists who worked and lived in England.

J de Fleury was active and successful from 1799 to 1823. He was a landscape painter who mainly worked in Wales but lived in London and was a regular exhibitor in the major London exhibitions between 1799 & 1823.

His son J. Vivian de Fleury painted mainly abroad and specialized in views of Switzerland and Italy. He exhibited between 1847 & 1868 and had many addresses in London during this time.

Miss J. Vivian first exhibits a view of Venice from a London address in 1869 and continues to exhibit mainly Italian views until 1877. Around 1880 she seems to have moved, as did her father, as their next exhibiting address is Islington Row, Birmingham where she continued to exhibit work until 1888. The name J.V. de Fleury reappears at the Birmingham Society exhibitions in 1892 & 1893. Her work shows an attention to detail that is a reflection of her father's technique but there is a lightness of touch and softness in the palate, which is considered even finer.

This 19th-century oil painting on canvas depicts a Venetian canal scene with boats leading towards a domed basilica under a pale sky. The artwork is executed in oil by Jane Vivian, active between 1869 and 1890, and is signed on the lower left. The piece is housed within a warm gold ornate carved giltwood frame featuring pierced rococo scrollwork, corner cartouches, bead mouldings, and openwork borders along the swept outer edges. The composition employs delicate pastel tones of blue, cream, brown, and ochre, capturing the architecture flanking the waterway alongside gondolas and figures on the water. The overall dimensions measure 56 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 5.5 cm deep. Suitable for period and traditional interiors, the painting is designed for display in a reception room, study, or hallway, and works particularly well when positioned above the mantel. The Victorian style and coastal canal motifs complement formal living spaces, gallery walls, or drawing rooms decorated with period antiques and classic furnishings.

These works typically belong to the Grand Tour tradition, focusing on detailed architectural topography, atmospheric light reflections on water, and bustling canal life surrounding iconic landmarks.

Artists painted primarily with oil pigments on stretched linen canvas or wooden panels, which were then mounted into hand-carved wood frames coated in gesso and gold leaf composition.

Authentic period works display natural age-related craquelure across the paint surface, historic stretcher bars with oxidised tacks, signs of natural gilding wear on the frame, and appropriate period signatures.

Position the piece as a focal point above a mantelpiece or sideboard, pairing the rich antique gilding with neutral contemporary wall colours or dark moody backdrops for dramatic contrast.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or water. Keep the painting out of direct sunlight and away from rapid humidity changes to prevent canvas warping and paint flaking.
