Francis Moltino was a London landscape painter who specialised in coastal and marine scenes. He is thought to be of Venetian descent, however, he was known to be living and working in London by the mid 1840's. He lived at Little Russell Street in Covent Garden and later Pimlico. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1848-1855 with a number of works including "Early Morning - Waiting for the Tide", "View of the Thames", "Battersea Old Mill", and "Morning on Burgh Flats". Towards the end of his career he travelled and painted in Venice. Moltinos' works have a continental feel and with his brushwork and pastel coloured palette, his style is often compared with Turner.
