A lovely image of a little boy sitting on a rock with his catch - 'After Many Days' by one of the Newlyn group of artists, H. E. Detmold. Exhibited for the Royal Academy 1893.
In the 1880s, the small Cornish fishing village of Newlyn, on the shores of Mounts Bay became the centre for the Newlyn School of artists. Many of these artists spent their summers painting in Brittany and were looking for a comparable place in England. The main painters in the group were Frank Bramley, Percy Craft, H. E. Detmold, Stanhope Forbes, Elizabeth Stanhope Forbes (nee Armstrong), W Fortescue, Norman Garstin, T. C. Gotch, Fred Hall, Edwin Harris, Ayerst Ingram, Walter Langley, H. Martin, F. Millard, Marianne Stokes, Chevallier Tayler, Titcombe, Ralph Todd and Henry Scott Tuke. They believed in depicting everyday scenes of village life with absolute fidelity to nature and painted where possible on the spot or en plein air. Their paintings became highly regarded and were exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy..
