About the Item
Towards Newlyn Bay, with the sea, town and hills in the distance with soft hazy sunlight.
Oil painting on canvas, mounted on stretchers and housed in its original gilt frame
A large and very beautiful and evocative oil painting of one of the most famous views in Cornwall and where the late nineteenth century art movement the Newlyn School started up.
Thomas Cooper Gotch – 1854 – 1931
Born in Kettering in Northamptonshire, ‘Tom’ Gotch left school to work at his family’s boot & shoe business before embarking on his artistic career. He began his formal art training at Heatherley’s Art School in 1876, aged 21, and entered the Slade in 1879 where he became a close friend of the painter Henry Scott Tuke. At the instigation of his future wife, fellow artist and Slade student, Caroline Burland Yates, Gotch and Tuke first visited Newlyn in 1879. Tom and Carrie returned to marry at St Peter’s Church in Newlyn in 1881, but then both resumed their studies in Paris at Julian’s and Lauren’s Academies and they did not become resident in Newlyn until 1887.
At first Gotch adopted the Newlyners’ ‘rural realist’ style, but in 1891 they wintered in Florence which marked a change in the style of his work to incorporate a ‘joyous sense of colour’. Many of his later works are influenced by the resurgence of interest in mediaevalism and resemble Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Of these, probably his most famous work is Alleluia 1896, which received a gold medal at the Paris Salon and was subsequently bought by the Chantery Bequest (Tate Britain). On his return to Newlyn in 1887, his first home, the Malt House, became the meeting place for many of the Newlyn painters and with Stanhope Forbes, helped to form what is now called the Newlyn School. Gotch frequently used local models in his works, including his own daughter, Phyllis, who was famed in later life for her leading role in stopping the Newlyn ‘slum clearances’. Gotch also modelled for his artist friends, and is the model for King Arthur in Elizabeth Forbes’ illustrated book King Arthur’s Wood.
Gotch was a painter of outstanding genius. Apart from his ability to portray the humble surroundings of the fishing village in which he lived, he was also brilliant in depicting allegorical subjects in a particularly harmonious fashion.
