Alfred Montague (1832-1870) was a master of landscape and urban genre scenes, particularly famous for his views of France, Holland, and Belgium. Montague is an artist renowned for his ability to blend English Romanticism with the precision of the Flemish and French schools. He excelled in harbor scenes, medieval waterfront towns and bustling markets, old streets with half-timbered houses, or a port with sailing ships—these are typical of his work. He often used soft light (morning or late afternoon) which gives a peaceful and historical atmosphere to his works. The small figures are always painted with great precision, bringing life to his architectural settings. He is an artist with a solid international reputation, primarily in London and Paris. Scenes of river ports are the most sought after.
