The father of Alfred Robert Quinton and his six siblings was a journalist, writer and printer. The family lived in the parish of Peckham, which is now part of the London Borough of Southwork. Young Quinton felt a strong inclination towards art at an early age and his parents therefore sent him to the Heatherley School of Fine Art, a private London art school. Later he worked as a steel engraver for some time, but painting interested him more. He rented a small studio and began to paint in watercolour and oil with some success, and his watercolours in particular often found their way into Londner exhibitions. Early on Quinton married Elizabeth Annie Crompton and the couple had two sons, Leonhard and Edgar Allen. The younger son died at the age of 19.
At the age of forty-two, the artist and a friend undertook a bicycle journey from Land es End in the west of Cornwall to John o Groasts in the far north of Scotland. On the over 1,400 kilometres he painted countless pictures that were published in the weekly magazine "The Illusrated Sporting and Dramatic News. The travel series had great success and Quinton earned so much money that he was able to buy a house with a studio in London. He then made plans to travel through his home country each summer, sketching or photographing mainly landscapes and villages, and then painting in his studio the rest of the year. Alfred Robert Quinton became a very successful painter, many of his works became popular postcard motifs or were used to design art calendars and are still sought after by collectors today. The artist also illustrated several books, including "The Historic Thames" by Hilaire Belloc, a very well-known Franco-British writer and historian.
Quinton was at his best in many galleries throughout Britain and also exhibited at the Birmingham Royal Society, Liverpool Walker Art and the Royal Society of British Artists. Only at the Royal Academy in Burlington Street in Picadilly was he not allowed to hang his paintings. They brusquely rejected him because of the allegedly excessive commercialization of art.
