Study for the carter in The Lighting Up Time, Stanhope Forbes (1857-1947)
Oil on canvas, Newlyn School, late 19th century. The Lighting Up Time was completed in 1902 and there are several studies for different elements of the painting in existence. This portrait of a young man holding a lighted lantern, standing by his horse and cart, is one of the studies. The final version is now in a private collection. Born in Dublin, Stanhope Forbes is regarded as the founder and leader of the Newlyn School. He attended Lambeth School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools before studying at Bonnats studio in Paris in 1881. He settled in Newlyn in 1884 and stayed for the rest of his life. Together with his wife Elizabeth, he taught many of the next generation of artists at their school of painting. Norman Garstin, in an article on Stanhope Forbes, wrote that no one has done so much to hold the little community of Newlyn together as Mr Stanhope Forbes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the carter in "The Lighting Up Time" a masterpiece by Stanhope Forbes. Painted during the late 19th century as part of the Newlyn School movement, this oil on canvas artwork depicts a young man standing proudly beside his horse and cart, holding a beautifully illuminated lantern. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to the scene, capturing the essence of evening dusk. Stanhope Forbes, hailed as both founder and leader of the Newlyn School, was born in Dublin and honed his artistic skills at prestigious institutions such as Lambeth School of Art and Royal Academy Schools. His talent led him to study under Bonnats studio in Paris before settling in Newlyn in 1884. Alongside his wife Elizabeth, he played an instrumental role in nurturing future artists through their renowned school of painting. Described by Norman Garstin as a pillar within the small community of Newlyn, Stanhope Forbes' dedication to art shines through this mesmerizing portrait. The play between light and darkness creates an atmosphere that draws viewers into its depths. Shades of black, white, brown, orange blend harmoniously together while highlighting contrasting elements. Although "The Lighting Up Time" now resides within a private collection, this particular study serves as evidence of Forbes' meticulous process behind creating such masterpieces. It offers us an intimate glimpse into his creative journey and reminds us why he remains one of history's most celebrated artists within Cornwall's rich cultural heritage.
