About the Item
Jane Vivian
British, (fl. 1869-1890)
The Punta della Dogana with Santa Maria della Salute from the Molo, Venice
Oil on canvas, indistinctly signed
Image size: 17.25 inches x 31.25 inches
Size including frame: 22.75 inches x 36.75 inches
A lovely painting of the Punta della Dogana with Santa Maria della Salute from the Molo, Venice by Jane Vivian. Figures can be seen parading along the famous wharf amongst the traders, whilst canal boats and gondolas wait by the waterfront. The column shown is that of St Theodore and is one of two that mark the entrance used by officials and distinguished visitors to Venice.
Jane Vivian was a landscape artist best known for her Venetian scenes. Few biographical details exist, which has led to some sources listing her as the daughter of John Victor de Fleury (fl.1847-1868), a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes who has been mistakenly named James Vivian de Fleury. However, there is strong evidence to suggest she was actually connected to the Meadows family of artists and that Vivian was possibly a pseudonym of one of the children of James Edwin Meadows (1828-1893) or perhaps Meadows himself. His daughters Alice and Julia Anne Meadows were both listed as artists on the 1871 census.
It is known that she lived in London and began her exhibiting career in 1869 at the Royal Society of British Artists. She made her debut at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists a year later in 1870. Her address at the time was listed as Essex Villa, The Avenue, Acton which was also where Meadows and his family lived during this period. She was a frequent exhibitor at the Bristol Fine Art Academy from 1871 and also exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, Falmouth, York Fine Art Exhibition and other exhibitions in Dundee, Sheffield and Worcester. She was a highly gifted artist working in both oils and watercolours. Her paintings received wide critical acclaim and were described as having a “great depth of tone” and “a sunniness and warmth about it which is perfectly captivating”.
By 1876, Vivian was living at Gainsborough House, Aldine Street, Shepherd’s Bush Green which again was also the same address as Meadows. Assuming she was a family member, she was probably taught by her father and may well have travelled with him and his brother Arthur Joseph Meadows (1843-1907)to Europe, spending time in Italy especially Venice where she produced many views of the famous city. She continued to exhibit at the Bristol Fine Art Academy until around 1892.
Vivian also painted riverscapes and lake views of other European cities such as Bruges and Rouen, however it is for her Venetian scenes that she is perhaps best known. A number of her works can be found at the Shipley Art Gallery, Newstead Abbey, Bangor, Museum of Croydon and the Haworth Art Gallery.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.

- Pair of 19th century landscape oil paintings of the River Avon & Berwyn ValleyBy John Bates NoelLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, Gloucestershire**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
