Our Gallery and Studio in Gosport
Our gallery was established in 1980 specialising in 18th, 19th and early 20th century pictures.
We also restore paintings, watercolours and prints in our studio, and offer quality bespoke picture framing.
Picture Framing
We offer a wide selection of frames to suit any subject, whether you prefer an ornate moulding or something more modern.
We can show you plenty of samples in the gallery and are happy to offer advice if you are unsure.
Fine Art Restoration
Our restoration studio was established over 40 years ago and undertakes cleaning and restoration of oil paintings, watercolours and engravings.
We will initially provide a free assessment of your picture with an estimate of costs for any work that we recommend.

Martin Snape - Gosport's Artist
Martin Snape (1852-1930) and his brother William Hamilton Snape (1862-1904) both lived in Gosport and painted views in and around the town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their work provides a wonderful visual record of Gosport and Portsmouth Harbour during this transformational time, as steam slowly replaced sail.
Richard Martin Gallery have long specialised in works by the Snapes, and Richard gives occasional lectures on their lives.
