Boy Rowing out from Rocky Shore, Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929)
Oil on canvas, Newlyn School, 1890. 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 Henry Scott Tuke's renowned masterpiece, "Boy Rowing out from Rocky Shore". Painted in 1890 during his time with the Newlyn School, this oil on canvas piece exemplifies Tuke's exceptional talent and artistic vision. Born into a Quaker family in York, Tuke's passion for drawing and painting was nurtured from an early age. His dedication led him to enroll at the prestigious Slade School of Art in 1875. During his studies, Tuke ventured to Paris where he embraced the technique of plein air painting under the guidance of Jules Bastien-Lepage. Inspired by his friends who had already formed the Newlyn School in Cornwall, he decided to relocate there and became an integral part of this vibrant artistic community. Tuke gained recognition for his remarkable maritime paintings as well as his evocative portraits of young men. His ability to capture both human figures and sailing ships with equal skill solidified his status as a versatile artist. In addition to leaving behind an extensive body of work comprising over 1,300 pieces, Tuke also made a lasting impact through acts of generosity. In his will, he bequeathed generous amounts of money to some of the boys who had served as models for his artwork. Henry Scott Tuke's legacy endures today through exhibitions around the world that celebrate his contributions to art history. This print serves as a testament not only to Boy Rowing out from Rocky Shore but also to Tuke's extraordinary talent and enduring influence on figurative and maritime painting alike.
