Harry, Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929)
Oil on canvas, Newlyn School, around 1888. 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. Tuke often used the same models in his work and painted Harry Cleave several times between 1885 and 1888. Cleave caused Tuke some problems when he converted to Methodism in 1887 and decided he could no longer pose for him. Fortunately Tuke managed to persuade Cleave that posing for artists did not compromise his newly found religious belief.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Harry" by Henry Scott Tuke, a renowned artist of the Newlyn School. Painted around 1888, this oil on canvas artwork captures the essence of Tuke's exceptional talent and his deep connection to Cornwall. Born into a Quaker family in York, Tuke's artistic journey began at an early age with encouragement from his family. His passion for art led him to enroll in the prestigious Slade School of Art in 1875. Inspired by his time spent in Paris and influenced by fellow artist Jules Bastien-Lepage, Tuke embraced plein air painting, immersing himself in nature while capturing its beauty on canvas. Tuke eventually settled in Newlyn, Cornwall, where he found inspiration among fellow artists who formed the influential Newlyn School. His skillful portrayal of young men became one of his signature subjects; however, he was also highly regarded as a maritime artist and portrait painter. In this particular piece, Tuke depicts Harry Cleave multiple times between 1885 and 1888. Their collaboration faced challenges when Cleave converted to Methodism and questioned whether posing for an artist aligned with his newfound beliefs. Fortunately, Tuke managed to convince Cleave that art did not compromise his religious convictions. Henry Scott Tuke's legacy lives on through over 1,300 listed works that continue to captivate audiences today. His ability to capture both human figures and maritime scenes solidifies him as a multifaceted artist whose contributions remain invaluable within the art world.
