Alfred Augustus Glendening Jnr R.A. (1861 -1903) Oil on Canvas

A large and impressive oil on canvas by Alfred Glendening jnr depicting a countryside river scene with a fisherman amongst thick vegetation.
It is monogrammed AAG and dated 1883 on the lower right hand side. This distinguishes Alfred junior from Alfred senior who signed his name in full. We have had the painting professionally cleaned and restored. The painting is housed in the beautiful and original wood and gilt gesso frame. As a result we are delighted with the outcome.
Several of these paintings have been much sought after and have sold at auctions including Bonham's and Christies.

BIOGRAPHY - Alfred Augustus Glendening Jnr ( 1861 - 1903)
This Victorian landscape artist was born in London and began his adult life as a railway clerk. He exhibited his first work at The Royal Society of British Artists, "Morning on Grasmere Lake" From that point on, he became a frequent exhibitor at the Society, as well as the Royal Academy (RA) – exhibiting his first work there, A Cornfield – Kent, in 1865. Among his other important works were Summer Evening (RA -1867), The Thames at Hampton (RA – 1873), Sunbury (RA – 1877), Belaugh on the Bure, Norfolk (RA – 1889) and In the Meadows, Youngsbury (RA – 1900)

The English landscape was his specialty – depicting views of the Thames and scenes in Wales and Scotland. These works often featured small figures by the riverside or swans on the water. Light comes from outside the picture, filtering its way through a beautiful blue and white sky and casts soft shadows in the water. His landscapes are filled with subtle shades of color and the water often cuts across the canvas and vanishes around a turn in the background.

Alfred Glendening continued to exhibit in London through 1903 – showing more than 130 works in all.
