..................................................................................................
We are offering for sale a lovely oil on canvas by the artist THOMAS (TOM) SEYMOUR, who has signed the painting T. Seymour in the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts a coastal scene, with a fishing boat landing its catch in a sandy bay. There are more fishing boats out to sea and several rocky headlands in the distance. On the top of one of these is a ruined building, which could be the workings of a tin mine, as the artist was known to have painted in Cornwall. A fisherwoman is approaching the boat with a basket in her hands to take some of the fish.
TOM SEYMOUR,obviously found a ready market for his work without the need to exhibit, because we have found no reference to him in any of the art reference books, which draw their information from exhibition listings.
He specialised in landscape and coastal works.
FRAME
The painting is framed in an ornate gilt frame, which suits it extremely well. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
MEASUREMENTS
Frame size 35 1/2" x 25 1/2" - 90.15cm x 64.75cm
Image size 29 3/8" x 19 3/8" - 74.55cm x 49.2cm
CONDITION
Very good. There are no repairs to the canvas which is clean and taut. There is some overall craquelure and slight stretcher marks consistent with age.
NEWLYN SCHOOL ART
The Newlyn School was an art colony of artists based in or near Newlyn, a fishing village adjacent to Penzance, Cornwall, from the 1880s until the early twentieth century. The establishment of the Newlyn School was reminiscent of the Barbizon School in France, where artists fled Paris to paint in a more pure setting emphasizing natural light. These schools along with a related California movement were also known as En plein air.
Newlyn had a number of things guaranteed to attract artists fantastic light, cheap living, and the availability of inexpensive models. The artists were fascinated by the fishermen's working life at sea and the everyday life in the harbour and nearby villages. Some paintings showed the hazards and tragedy of the community's life, such as women anxiously looking out to sea as the boats go out, or a young woman crying on hearing news of a disaster. Lamorna Birch was the prime mover behind the colony and the work done there. The later Forbes School of Painting, founded by Stanhope Forbes and his wife Elizabeth in 1899, promoted the study of figure painting. A present day Newlyn School of Art was formed in 2011 with Arts Council funding providing art courses taught by many of the best-known artists working in Cornwall today.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Lamorna, a nearby fishing village to the south, became popular with artists of the Newlyn School and is particularly associated with the artist S. J. "Lamorna" Birch who lived there from 1908.
