Alfred Augustus Glendening Senior
British painter Alfred Augustus Glendening, Sr. captured luminous, sunlit scenes in striking landscape paintings of his native country during the 19th century.
Glendening is believed to have been born in Greenwich around 1840. Although it is unknown whether or not he received any formal artistic training, he dedicated his life to becoming a painter after leaving his post as a railway clerk.
The expansive British Isles — from the English countryside and rolling Welsh hills to the dramatic mountains of Scotland — served as Glendening’s muse. He traveled extensively throughout Britain, capturing scenes of the River Thames, the southern counties of Surrey and Sussex and the lochs of the Scottish Highlands.
In addition to his landscape paintings and figurative works, Glendening’s oeuvre includes numerous animal paintings that feature pastoral landscapes dotted with cattle, sheep and deer, as well as tranquil scenes of ponds and streams with ducks and swans. His use of color and focus on accurately depicting natural light — characteristics that are typical of Impressionist art — are comparable to that of another well-known British landscape painter, Alfred de Bréanski, Sr.
Glendening received broad attention and recognition for his works. From 1865 to 1903, Glendening’s paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Manchester Art Gallery, to name a few. His son, Alfred Augustus Glendening, Jr., studied landscape painting under his father and was a well-known artist in his own right.
Today, Glendening’s paintings are highly sought by collectors of Victorian art and landscapes.

- 19th Century exhibition size landscape oil painting of Sheep on a cliffBy Charles Jones (b.1836)Located in Nr Broadway, WorcestershireCharles Jones British, (1836-1892) Sheep Resting Oil on canvas, signed with monogram & dated 1877, further inscribed verso Image size: 35 inches x 59 inches Size including frame: 47 inches x 71 inches Exhibition Size Painting A fantastic exhibition sized landscape painting of sheep on a cliff top by the coast by Charles ‘Sheep’ Jones. At the time he produced this painting, Jones was living at Heathercroft, Balham Hill in London. Given the size and quality of the work it was most likely an exhibition piece. The topography and landscape suggest that this is the Dorset coast, one of his favourite places to paint. Charles Jones was an animal painter who was born in Stepney, London in 1836. He was the son of the artist Samuel John Egbert Jones (1797-1861) and Dinah Jones. He lived with his parents and 9 siblings in Mile End and was a pupil of his father. In September 1859, he married Frances Rosalinda Downe, who was born in America. His son Arthur Bertram Loud (1863-1930) also became an artist. They lived at 12 Hayes Place, Lisson Grove from where he made his debut in London at the Royal Academy in 1861. He also exhibited at the British Institution, Suffolk Street, New Watercolour Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. By 1867, he had become a successful artist and they had moved to 7 Paragon Place, Brixton Hill. From 1874 he lived at Heathercroft, Balham Hill where he spent the rest of his life. Jones became well known for specialising in paintings of sheep, cattle and deer in landscape settings. He spent his time travelling around visiting areas such as Devon, Dorset, Kent, Sussex and the Highlands. However, it is for his skilful painting of sheep that he is perhaps best known, and for which earned him the nickname of ‘Sheep’ Jones. As well as the major London galleries, he also exhibited provincially at various locations including: the Royal Cambrian Academy where he was elected a member in 1886, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, Manchester City Art Gallery, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Some of the smaller more intimate galleries he exhibited at were Arthur Tooth & Sons and Thomas...Category

- "A River Landscape with Wild Horses", Victorian original, oil on canvasBy John Frederick Herring JrLocated in Nutfield, SurreyThis is an original unique oil painting by the artist. Born into an artistic family in Doncaster, England during 1820. Best known for his equine art, of the same character as those of the elder Herring, including "The Home Farm," "The Homestead," "The Farm-Yard," etc.John F. Herring, Jr. was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire c.1820, to the well-known 19th-century artist John Frederick Herring, Sr. (1795-1865), who at the time, was considered one of England's great Sporting and Equestrian artists, patronized by the English aristocracy. The father's mastery of the brush, and popularity with the nobility, served his son, Herring, Jr., well. Early on, John, Jr. was exposed to fine painting and wealthy patrons. Recent reference books state that Herring, Sr.'s first child was named "John Frederick Herring, Jr." and was born on June 21, 1815. John Herring, Jr. developed a love for painting, a passion also shared by his brothers Charles and Benjamin. Three of the four brothers became artists, painting in the same style as their father, often collaborating on a single painting. In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature. John Herring, Jr. continued painting in the tradition of his father, the sporting and animal pictures...Category
