Description
This is a reproduction of one of the earliest work of Henry Scott Tuke that I've been able to find, Portrait of a Youth of 1877. Tuke was nineteen when he completed this and won a scholarship to the Slade School of Art in London. The next year he studied in Italy and for the next three years in Paris. Thereafter he joined the Newlyn Scott of painters in Cornwall. Tuke became known for his twin abiding loves were the sea and young men. This caused quite a stir in Victorian and Edwardian England, but he was nonetheless a member of the Royal Academy. Technically, Tuke favored rough, visible brushstrokes, at a time when a smooth, polished finish was favored by fashionable painters and critics. He had a strong sense of color and excelled in the depiction of natural light, particularly the soft, fragile sunlight of the English summer. Had his choice of subject matter been more orthodox, Tuke might have become a major name in British painting: as it was he remained a niche painter. Yet today his fame has increased. 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. Tuke was a prolific artist - over 1,300 works are listed and more are still being discovered.
