The Bathers of 1889, Henry Scott Tuke

photo


A reproduction of a work by Henry Scott Tuke, “The Bathers” of 1889. The artist was a native of Yorkshire who died in 1929 at the age of seventy-one years. His twin abiding loves were the sea and boys. 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. This work is a fine example of Tuke’s wonderful work. The original painting is on display in the Leeds Art Gallery in Great Britain.
