Alfred Pollentine
Alfred Pollentine is a British landscape painter. He specialised in Venetian scenes.
Pollentine developed his own very recognisable style of warm and whimsical scenes that blended everyday life with moving architecture to reflect the full romance of the city. He painted them in a loose impressionistic style that is always rich in colour and painted in a complex palette: figures, water, boats and buildings are vigorously depicted in a swirl of brushstrokes.
