A captivating painting by Francis Moltino of the Grand Canal in Venice. Moltino has chosen to depict one of the most iconic views of the Grand Canal looking towards the Punta della Dogana and the Santa Maria Della Salute with its distinctive rotunda.
Francis or Frank Moltino was a marine painter born in Milan, Italy around 1818. By the early 1840’s, he had moved to England where he married and had several children. One of his daughters, Frances Moltino, also became an artist.
The family initially lived in the Tower Hamlet area of London before moving to 5 Little Russell Street, from where he began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1848. Works at the RA include ‘Early Morning – Waiting for the Tide’, ‘View of the Thames’, ‘ Battersea Old Mill’, and ‘Morning on Burgh Flats’.
Moltino’s works have a continental feel and with his brushwork and pastel coloured palette, his style is often compared with Turner. Many of his subjects featured busy river and harbour views. As well as painting views of the Thames he also travelled around the coast of England. Later on, he visited Venice and produced a number of works of the famous city. He returned to England by 1880, where he lived at 13 Rush Hill Terrace, Lavender Hill, Battersea. He died at 31 Fitzwilliam-road, Clapham on 15 April 1888.
Examples of his paintings can be found at the Guildhall Art Gallery and the Cooper Gallery, Barnsley.
Presentation: The work is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.

Francis Moltino
Francis Moltino was an Italian painter, resident in London, who specialized in landscapes and coastal scenes. His work is similar to that of Turner in style but with an air of southern Europe. Moltino exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London between 1848–55. He was resident in Covent Garden and then Pimlico in London from the mid-1840s. In later life, Moltino returned to Italy and painted in Venice, where he might originally have come from.

- Pair of 19th century landscape oil paintings of the River Avon & Berwyn ValleyBy John Bates NoelLocated in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 19 INCHES X 23 INCHES** John Bates Noel British, (1870-1927) On the Avon & In the Berwin Valley Oil on canvas, pair, both signed, also signed & inscribed verso Image size: 12 inches x 16 inches (each) Size including frame: 19 inches x 23 inches (each) John Bates Noel was born John Noel Bates in Worcester in 1870. He was the son of the landscape artist David Bates (1840-1921) but later on changed his professional name to avoid confusion. The family lived in Worcestershire as well as in Birmingham and it was highly likely that he was encouraged and taught by his father as their subject matter and style bear similarities, although John’s compositions tend to be more fluid and looser. By the turn of the century Noel was living in Malvern where he also taught art. He specialised in painting the rugged landscapes in and around the West Midlands, Worcestershire and North Wales. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1893-1909 and at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists between 1892-1919. He also exhibited works at some of the major galleries of the time including the Manchester City Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. The building in the painting 'On the Avon' is believed to be that of St Margaret's Church at Wolston in Warwickshire. The structures at the front of the church appear to be thatched hay ricks, which are similar to ones seen in an old postcard of the church seen from the river Avon...Category
