Born in Greenwich around 1840, the London-based landscape painter Alfred Augustus Glendening Senior began life as a railway clerk before realizing his greatest ambition, that of becoming a full-time artist.
Glendening was soon to become one of the most popular and celebrated landscape artists of his day. He painted landscapes throughout the Home Counties, the Lake District, Wales and Scotland. There are also some in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
He especially enjoyed painting views set along the River Thames, as well as scenes in the Surrey and Sussex countryside.
Between 1865 and 1903 Alfred Augustus Glendening exhibited at the major venues of his day; at the Royal Academy, Walker Gallery Liverpool, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Oil Painters & elsewhere.
