About the Item
A large striking oil on canvas painting of a harboured Naval Flotilla attributed to Francis Moltino Mid-19th Century in date.
The painting presents a busy harbour scene with an anchored Naval Flotilla and a clear blue sky with calm waters.
Francis Moltino (1818–1888) was a 19th-century English landscape painter. Most biographical accounts give his place of birth as Milan, Austrian Empire but this is incorrect. Francis Moltino was in fact born Frank George Owen Moulton in Norfolk and no doubt changed his name and reinvented himself to sound more exotic. Moltino married Elizabeth Nockold in 1834 and moved to London in the 1840s.
Between 1847 and 1867 he exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Royal Society of British Artists. Moltino specialised in atmospheric cityscapes of the river Thames and Victorian London, and in particular vedute scenes of Venice in the style of J. M. W. Turner. Moltino died in Wandsworth, South London in April 1888.
The artist used very subtle colours to add some mystery to the scenery.

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.

William Raymond Dommersen
was born at the end of 1859 in Stratford, West Ham, London as the only son of the Anglo / Dutch fine art painter Pieter Cornelis Dommersen and Anna Petronella Synja. His parents had moved from the Netherlands in 1855 to London, England. His uncle, Cornelis Christiaan Dommersen, was also a painter in the Netherlands. It is possible that when his father received British nationality that they changed their family name – van Dommershuijsen – into the more English sounding surname Dommersen.
Dommersen painted between 1875 and 1927 genre pieces, landscapes, marine scenes, village- and town-scenes of quality. His best known works are the European villages and towns along rivers and canals...
