Newlyn School
The Newlyn School is a term used to describe a colony of artists based in or near to Newlyn, a fishing village adjacent to Penzance, Cornwall, from the 1880s until the early 20th century.
Newlyn had a number of things guaranteed to attract artists: fantastic light, cheap living, and the availability of inexpensive models. Everyday life in Newlyn and the area around was to become a staple of their work. The 'School of Painting', founded by Stanhope Forbes[?] and his wife Elizabeth[?] in 1899 promoted the study of figure painting.
Newlyn School painters include:
- Stanhope Forbes[?]
- Walter Langley[?]
- Lamorna Birch
- Elizabeth Forbes[?]
- Henry Scott Tuke[?]
- Annie Walke[?]
- Harold Knight[?]
- Laura Knight[?]
- Harold Harvey[?]
