Stanhope Forbes

Born in Dublin, Forbes trained at the Royal Academy Schools in London and finished his studies in Paris. In the early 1880’s many of Britain’s most talented artists began arriving in Newlyn. A number of these artists had trained on the continent and many had spent time in artistic colonies in France.

1884 saw the arrival of Stanhope Forbes who would later become known as the emblematic figurehead of the thirty or so painters who made up the ‘Newlyn School’. The term ‘the Newlyn School’ is used to describe this group of early artistic residents of Newlyn who were bound together by their shared belief in the importance of ‘en plein air’ painting and their desire to capture the lives of the local fishing and farming communities.
