Alfred Clint

He acquired the technical knowledge of painting from his father, while he studied from the life at a students' society, which met first in Drury Lane and afterwards in the Savoy.

He exhibited for the first time in 1828 at the British Institution, sending in the folio wins year a 'Study from Nature' to the Royal Academy.

[3] He is best known as a marine painter, the subjects of his pictures taken chiefly from the English Channel, and especially from Jersey, Guernsey, and the coast of Sussex.

He drew and etched the illustrations to George John Bennett's Pedestrian's Guide through North Wales, 1838, and in 1856 wrote Landscape from Nature, the second part of John Samuelson Templeton's Guide to Oil Painting.
