Description
This is a reproduction of Henry Scott Tuke's 1911 painting, "Male Nude Reclining on Rocks". Charlie Mitchell was one of Tuke's favorite models and was twenty-six when portrayed in this painting. In the small community of Falmouth. He modelled for Tuke from the age of 16 until his 30's. He looked after Tuke's boats and used to row the artist out from Swanpool where he lived, into Falmouth Bay so he could paint the many tall ships that visited the harbor. This painting can be dated to between 1910 and 1912 as Tuke undertook several other paintings at this time of boys posing in front of the same blue/grey-coloured rocks. Tuke's abiding love was the sea. He was a member of the Royal Academy having been born in 1858 York from whence he moved when he was sixteen and entered the Slade School of Art. He traveled to Italy six years later and between 1881 and 1883 he lived in Paris where he studied under Jean-Paul Laurens and met John Singer Sargent. During this time he met Oscar Wilde and John Addington Symonds. He began his painting in Cornwall in 1883 and his fame gradually grew. In 1914 he was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts having established himself as an independent artist who could afford to work in France, Italy and the West Indies. Tuke died in Falmouth, Cornwall at the age of seventy. This painting measures 12 x 18 inches.
