About Robert Cleminson

Nationality

British

Robert Cleminson is generally catalogued as a British painter who lived from 1864 to 1903, although one Wikidata description gives 1844 as his birth year and the discrepancy requires caution. Art UK records his work in several UK public collections, including The Bowes Museum, Newport Museum and Art Gallery, Bantock House and Park, and Lynton Town Hall. The listed subjects show a clear concentration on animals and rural landscapes: stags, ponies, horses, game dogs, and dogs in open country. Titles such as Three Stags, Game Dog, Landscape with Panniered Horse, and Landscape with Dogs and Horse place his work in the context of British animal, sporting, and landscape painting. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Cleminson through traditional easel paintings featuring deer, hunting dogs, horses, or rural scenery. Authority records expose a possible Robert I/Robert II naming problem, so signatures, dates, provenance, and attribution history should be checked carefully.

Common works and media

Public-collection records indicate that collectors most commonly encounter Cleminson as a painter of animals and rural landscapes. Documented subjects include stags, ponies, panniered horses, game dogs, dogs accompanying horses, and solitary animals in open scenery. These subject types are more securely supported than prints, sculpture, ceramics, or editions, for which the collected institutional evidence is insufficient. Individual works should still be assessed through their physical medium, support, measurements, signature, condition, and provenance.

Market and appraisal context

A Robert Cleminson appraisal should begin with comparable paintings that align in subject, dimensions, condition, date, and attribution confidence. Animal and landscape subjects documented by Art UK provide a useful reference point, but a shared subject does not by itself establish authorship or market equivalence. Inspect the signature and inscriptions, restoration history, surface condition, provenance, exhibition history, and any catalogue references. Recent public auction results can help establish a comparison range when the works are genuinely similar. Reported results may use different fee conventions, while private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may be absent. The conflicting birth-year evidence and possible split authority records also make careful identity reconciliation important before relying on an artist-level market summary.

Appraisal caveats

Public auction records are starting points for comparison and do not constitute a final appraisal.
Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, reporting differences, and later attribution changes may not appear in the available record.
The conflicting birth year and possible Robert I/Robert II authority-record split make identity and attribution checks especially important.
Condition, restoration, provenance, and attribution confidence can materially affect how closely a work compares with recorded sales.
