Alfred Horsley Hinton Landscape Oil Manor Hse.1887
We are offering for sale this landscape oil on canvas of the entrance to a manor house, located in the Surrey Hills by the artist Alfred Horsley Hinton, who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner and dated it 1887. The painting depicts the entrance drive to the house over a white bridge, which spans a stretch of water with waterlily pads, which may be a moat. There are two stone gateposts, with stone balls on top them and grey painted, ornamental wrought iron gates. Two gables and two tall chimneys are visible over the treetops.
This painting is one of a pair, the other, which we do not have, shows the house in more detail and the wooden back gate between two smaller gateposts. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the exact location of the manor house, or, indeed, a picture of the house itself. However, if anyone does recognise it, please could they let us know.
Provenance: This pair of paintings was part of the Stephen Furniss collection of paintings relating to Shere and the Surrey Hills, collected during his period as a self-employed antique dealers who traded out of an antiques centre in Shere, between 1982 and 2008.
Alfred Horsley Hinton was born in the Clerkenwell district of London in the third quarter of 1863, the son of a provisions merchant and his wife Mary S., nee Witherington. In the 1871 census, he was living with his parents and two sisters with one servant in West Ham. By 1881, Alfred was listed as an Artist, still living with his parents in Walthamstow.
In 1890 he married Louise Jane Rolfe (1867-1939) in West Ham. In the 1891 census the couple were living at Ship Dene, Whitehall Road, Woodford with one servant and Alfred was listed as a Journalist Scientific & Photographic Apprentice Dealer & Merchant.
In 1901, the couple were living at 8 Montalt Road, Walthamstow and Alfred was listed as a Journalist & Author. In 1904, he went to the US on the SS Ivernia bound for Boston.
On the 28th February, 1908, after becoming ill while returning from a photographic exhibition in Scotland, Alfred died. In the Gravesend Reporter, there is an article regarding the Hinton Memorial Fund. It was felt that there was a widespread desire for some public recognition of his services to the cause of photography and, as he had been a self made man, with many family demands upon his purse, he had been unable to purchase a property and had left his widow poorly provided for. The fund was started with 3 donations totalling 200 guineas.
In the West London Observer in 1924 it stated that 'He (Alfred Horsley Hinton) will be venerated as a master as long as photography lasts'. Indeed that is true, as his photographs are more prevalent at auction than his paintings. There is a great deal of information available online about his photographic career, so anyone interested should just put his name into google, where images of his photographs are also available. However, coutesy of the Camera Club, we will give a short bio of his work in that field.
'Alfred Horsley Hinton (1863-1908) was a British pictorialist photographer and founding member of The Linked Ring, a groundbreaking photographic society whose purpose was to breakdown the common perception of the time that photography was not a true artform. The Linked Ring became one of the most influential photographic societies of all time, and created the immensely successful Photographic Salon, an annual exhibition which led to the increasing public interest in photography and positioned its exhibiting photographers as valuable artists.
As a pictorialist, Hinton’s photography focused primarily on the landscape as subject matter, usually produced as platinum prints with a dramatic and evocative style. Hinton was also a prolific writer and journalist, having written at least 5 books on photography, having served as the editor of Amateur Photographer from 1897-1908, and also as editor of the Photographic Trades Gazette during the last 4 years of his life.
Hinton’s works have been collected by The National Trust, the National Media Museum, and the Spencer Photographic Archive.'
The painting has been newly framed in a 3" gilt frame and will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
