A Summer Afternoon Frank Gascoigne Heath (1873-1931) Heath came to Newlyn in c.1901 to study under Stanhope Forbes, and shortly thereafter, he exhibited at the Royal Academy. The influence of artist friends brought a change of style to his painting, earning him the epithet ‘the sunshine artist’.

On Paul Hill, 1922 Stanhope Forbes RA (1857–1947) Forbes lost his first wife, Elizabeth, to cancer in 1912, and their only child, Alec, was killed in World War I four years later. However, this painting is full of optimism, with the next generation basking in Cornish sunshine.

A Little Garland Fits a Little Head Elizabeth Adela Forbes (1859-1912) A lady and a little girl outside the Forbes's home at Higher Faugan, Newlyn, inspired the setting for a group of paintings and poetry illustrations depicting girls and children in the exotic woodlands of the Cornish countryside.

White Squall 🌊 Albert Julius Olsson (1864–1942) Oil on canvas ’A “big man with a big heart, who paints big pictures with big brushes in a big studio.“ He did more than any other painter to stamp St Ives as a British outpost of impressionism.’ (Folliott Stokes and Cornwall Artists’ Index).

In the Meadow Harold C. Harvey (1874-1941) Oil on board Depicting a striking dark-haired child garlanded by wild flowers in a meadow. It is an utterly charming portrait and a very fine example of this talented Cornish artist’s work. #fineart #cornwall #haroldharvey #spring #meadow #art

The Family at Polperro by Bernard Fleetwood-Walker The artist's first wife, Mickey, and their two sons, Colin and Guy, on a day out at the beach in the Cornish town of Polperro. The group is close both physically and emotionally; it is a satisfied and satisfying picture.

Carn Barges, Sennen Cove Dame Laura Knight, RA, RWS (1877-1970) The picture depicts a well-known Cornish outcrop, not too far from Lands End and close to Laura Knight's studio hut at Lamorna, which had been built specially for her by the local squire at the time, Colonel Paynter. #FineArt #Cornwall

Spring, 1916–20 Dame Laura Knight RA. ‘Painted during the WW1. At that time,it was against the law to paint out of doors anywhere near the Cornish Coast. I had to lie on my stomach under any convenient bush, to make a line or two in a sketch book, memorise - rush back into my studio, and paint.'

Tulip Pickers, 1926 Harold Harvey (1874-1941) Oil on canvas During the 1920s, Harold Harvey painted a number of studies of women working in the fields. This represents a rather idealised view of what we know to be backbreaking work. #FineArt #Cornwall #HaroldHarvey #Tulips #Art

Marjory (Girl on Horseback), 1913 by Sir Alfred James Munnings, P.R.A., R.W.S. (1878-1959) Confidently meeting the viewer's gaze through the shade of the tree canopy, Marjory, a young local Cornish girl, is clearly an enigmatic and captivating sitter. #FineArt #AlfredMunnings #HorseArt #Painting

Picking chrysanthemums, 1915 Harold Harvey (1874-1941) Harvey returned to the theme of flowers throughout his career. Whether they depicted a life of leisure or work, flowers were central to his imagery and are at the heart of many of his greatest works. What's your favourite flowers? 🌼🌸🌻🌹

Boy at the harbour, Mousehole, 1918 Harold Harvey (1874-1941) Oil on canvas A close-up, three-quartery length view of a teenage boy wearing a dark hat and clothing and a brightly patterned neck scarf, which I believe may have been a Cryséde scarf. #Art #Cornwall #ArtHistory #Mousehole

Dosmare Pool Harold Knight, RA (1874-1961) Upon first viewing this painting, I believed it to be the work of Laura Knight. However, I now see Harold's distinctive technique and style in the depiction of the sky and sea. #FineArt #Art #CornishArt #HaroldKnight

The Cornish Coast aka Two Girls and a Dog, 1917 Dame Laura Knight (1877 - 1970) Oil on canvas Many of these scenes were painted in situ, and Knight writes of climbing "along the cliff edge and over slippery rocks every day carrying six-foot canvases on my head."

Portrait of Miss Mary Anne Jones, 1960 Dod Procter R.A. (1892-1972) Oil on canvas I feel the style and technique are so different from her other portraits, perhaps reflecting a shift in her artistic approach. But her face is absolutely stunning, capturing a certain timeless beauty.

Portrait of Fryn Tennyson Jesse Dame Laura Knight (1877-1970) Oil on canvas Private Collection | Sold at Lays Auctioneers Although undated, the low pompadour hairstyle, blouse, and black ribbon at the neck would all indicate a date of circa 1910.
