About Alfred A Glendening, Jr. Alfred Augustus Glendening was a London landscape and genre painter; son of Alfred Augustus Glendening, Sr., also a painter. The artist was taught by his father and he worked in oils and watercolors. In 1864, he exhibited his first work at The Royal Society of British Artists, Morning on Grassmore Lake. From that point on, he became a frequent exhibitor at the Society, as well as the Royal Academy (RA) – exhibiting his first work there, A Cornfield – Kent, in 1865. The English landscape was his specialty – depicting views of the Thames and scenes in Wales and Scotland. These works often featured small figures by the riverside or swans on the water. Light comes from outside the picture, filtering its way through a beautiful blue and white sky and casts soft shadows in the water. His landscapes are filled with subtle shades of color and the water often cuts across the canvas and vanishes around a turn in the background. Alfred Glendening continued to exhibit in London through 1903 – showing more than 130 works in all. Glendening Jr enjoyed a great deal of popularity in his time, mainly because he knew what the public liked and composed his paintings accordingly. Later in his career, Glendening Jr also became a theatrical scenery painter, as so many of the Victorian artists did to give them a regular income and some sort of security while allowing them to carry on with their painting. He passed away before his father in 1907.
