J. Davies Enys, Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929)
Oil on canvas, Newlyn School, early 20th century. John Davies Enys (1837-1912) was born at Enys, near Penryn, Cornwall, and emigrated to New Zealand in 1861. He was devoted to the natural sciences and travelled widely in search of specimens. Despite his scientific discoveries and published papers, Enys only ever saw himself as a gentleman collector. He sent many objects back to Cornwall from New Zealand, some of which are in the Royal Cornwall Museum collections. He returned to the Enys Estate in 1891, which he inherited in 1906. Enys was twice President of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, in 1893-1895 and again from 1911 until his death in 1912. Mount Enys, the highest peak in the Craigieburn Range, Canterbury, is named after him. Henry Scott Tuke was born into a Quaker family in Lawrence Street, York. In 1859 the family moved to Falmouth, where his father Daniel Tuke, a physician, established a practice. Tuke was encouraged to draw and paint from an early age and some of his earliest drawings, aged four or five years old, were published in 1895. In 1875, he enrolled in the Slade School of Art. Initially his father paid for his tuition but in 1877 Tuke won a scholarship, which allowed him to continue his training at the Slade and in Italy in 1880. From 1881 to 1883 he was in Paris where he met the artist Jules Bastien-Lepage, who encouraged him to paint en plein air (in the open air) a method of working that came to dominate his practice. While studying in France, Tuke decided to move to Newlyn, Cornwall where many of his Slade and Parisian friends had already formed the Newlyn School of painters. He received several lucrative commissions there, after exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy of Art in London. In 1885, he returned to Falmouth where many of his major works were produced. He became an established artist and was elected to full membership of the Royal Academy in 1914. Tuke suffered a heart attack in 1928 and died in March 1929. In his will he left generous amounts of money to some of the men who, as boys, had been his models. Today 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. He was a prolific artist, over 1, 300 works are listed and more are still being discovered. Royal Cornwall Museum is the UK's Greatest Museum For Cornish Life & Culture. © RIC

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting "J. Davies Enys" by Henry Scott Tuke, a prominent artist of the Newlyn School in the early 20th century. The subject of this oil on canvas masterpiece is John Davies Enys, a Cornish gentleman collector and devoted natural scientist who emigrated to New Zealand in 1861. Despite his scientific achievements and published papers, Enys always saw himself as an enthusiast rather than a professional. Enys sent numerous specimens back to Cornwall from his travels in New Zealand, some of which are now housed in the prestigious Royal Cornwall Museum collections. He inherited the Enys Estate upon his return to Cornwall in 1891 and served as President of the Royal Institution of Cornwall twice during his lifetime. Henry Scott Tuke, born into a Quaker family in York, became renowned for his exceptional talent as both a figurative painter and maritime artist. His decision to move to Newlyn brought him closer to fellow artists at the forefront of the artistic movement there. Tuke's work gained recognition after being exhibited at London's Royal Academy of Art. While he is primarily remembered for his exquisite oil paintings depicting young men, Tuke also produced an impressive body of work featuring sailing ships and seascapes. With over 1,300 listed works attributed to him and more still being discovered today, Tuke's legacy continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. This print serves as a testament not only to these two extraordinary individuals but also highlights their significant contributions within their respective fields – one through scientific exploration and collection, while the other through masterful brushstrokes that immortalize moments frozen in time.
