Artist
Alfred Horsley Hinton




Alfred Horsley Hinton is an Impressionism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Alfred Horsley Hinton carried a wooden camera like a second body, he lugged it up British hills, through misty valleys and mill towns, always hunting the perfect soft light over water. He made portfolios named after years, not places, because the date was the real subject: each print records how October fog clung to a river at 3:47 p.m. on the 12th.
Why he’s here: tap his 1901 “Portfolio of Pictures” and you’ll see exactly what he meant by “the quiet hour before rain.”
