Alfred Vickers, Sr. was born in London, England and died there.  Attached below is an edited excerpt from a biography prepared by Art in the Afternoon, L.L.C.

Alfred Vickers, Sr. was a self-taught landscape and seascape painter, who painted from nature. His light and sparkling style has been compared by one critic to the work of Boudin.  His son Alfred Gomersal Vickers was also a painter. Vickers exhibited 125 works at the British Institute and many others at the Royal Academy from 1814 - 1867; he also exhibited at the Suffolk St. Galleries.

His paintings are represented in museums in Glasgow, Leicester, Nottingham, and Sheffield.

Vickers is noted for his English views, especially river scenes, executed in a rapid, sketchy style, using a distinctive range of pale greens.  The most appealing trait of Vickers' works is their coloring, achieved through the light, clear tones that he laid on in thin oil washes.
