About the Item
'Venice by Moonlight' by Henry Pether (1800-1880).
The painting – which depicts an extensive nocturnal view of the Grand Canal with the Palazzo Pisani Gritti to the left and the Dorsoduro to the right, the Santa Maria della Salute at the Punta della Dogana, and the Ducal Palace and St Mark’s in the background – is signed by the artist and presented in its original 19th century giltwood frame.
Henry Pether was taught by his father, the eminent Georgian topographical painter Abraham Pether (1756-1812), and went on to became one of the most important English-born view painters of the 19th century. The attention to architectural accuracy and detail, and the subtle colouring of Henry Pether’s atmospheric paintings of night were a major influence upon other artists such as John Atkinsone Grimshaw, half a century later.
Between 1828 and 1865 Henry Pether exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Royal Society of British Artists. Today, paintings by Henry Pether are held in the collections of Tate Britain, the City of London, the Royal Museums in Greenwich, and the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut.

Fabbriche di Careggine - Mid 19th Century Oil Painting of Tuscany Hills Italy
By Edmund John Niemann
Located in Gerrards Cross, GB
‘Fabbriche di Careggine’ by Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876).
Fabbriche di Careggine is the name of a Italian ghost village that today lies beneath Vagli di Sotto, a man-made lake in Tuscany. Prior to its flooding in 1953 the village was home to a community of subsistence farmers who raised sheep and Garfagnana goats. The painting depicts one of these goatherds and a young woman riding out from the village at sunrise.
It is not uncommon for paintings by one member of famous family of artists to be mistakenly attributed to a relative; a picture by “the Elder” is erroneously credited as being by “the Younger” and the work of one brother is confused with another, and so on. In 19th century British art...
