Fine Art Prints From Royal Cornwall Museum
Seascape with Sailing Craft, Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929)
Oil on board, Newlyn School, 1904. Henry Scott Tuke was born into a Quaker family in Lawrence Street, York. In 1859 the family moved to Falmouth, where his father Daniel Tuke, a physician, established a practice. Tuke was encouraged to draw and paint from an early age and some of his earliest drawings, aged four or five years old, were published in 1895. In 1875, he enrolled in the Slade School of Art. Initially his father paid for his tuition but in 1877 Tuke won a scholarship, which allowed him to continue his training at the Slade and in Italy in 1880. From 1881 to 1883 he was in Paris where he met the artist Jules Bastien-Lepage, who encouraged him to paint en plein air (in the open air) a method of working that came to dominate his practice. While studying in France, Tuke decided to move to Newlyn, Cornwall where many of his Slade and Parisian friends had already formed the Newlyn School of painters. He received several lucrative commissions there, after exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy of Art in London. In 1885, he returned to Falmouth where many of his major works were produced. He became an established artist and was elected to full membership of the Royal Academy in 1914. Tuke suffered a heart attack in 1928 and died in March 1929. In his will he left generous amounts of money to some of the men who, as boys, had been his models. Today he is remembered mainly for his oil paintings of young men, but in addition to his achievements as a figurative painter, he was an established maritime artist and produced as many portraits of sailing ships as he did human figures. He was a prolific artist, over 1, 300 works are listed and more are still being discovered

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Seascape with Sailing Craft" by Henry Scott Tuke, a renowned artist of the Newlyn School. Born into a Quaker family in York, Tuke's passion for drawing and painting was nurtured from an early age. His talent flourished as he enrolled in the Slade School of Art, where he honed his skills and embraced the technique of plein air painting. During his time in France, Tuke fell in love with the picturesque coastal town of Newlyn in Cornwall. Inspired by its beauty and influenced by fellow artists, he decided to make it his home. It was here that Tuke created some of his most remarkable works and gained recognition through exhibitions at esteemed institutions like the Royal Academy of Art. While primarily celebrated for his oil paintings depicting young men, Tuke also excelled as a maritime artist. His deep appreciation for sailing ships is evident through numerous portraits capturing their grace and power on canvas. Tuke's legacy extends beyond his artistic achievements; he was known for his generosity towards those who had once posed as models during their youth. In fact, he left substantial amounts of money to these individuals in his will. Today, Henry Scott Tuke remains an influential figure within the art world. With over 1,300 listed works attributed to him (and more still being discovered), this talented painter continues to captivate audiences with both his figurative masterpieces and stunning maritime compositions.
