Walter Langley (1852–1922)
The artist's viewpoint is from the garden of his home, Pembroke Lodge, in Newlyn, looking across Mounts Bay. Langlley captures a warm, summertime moment harvesting the small orchard's crop of apples.

One of the highlights of my trip to Bristol was seeing this beautiful Laura Knight painting in person (my reaction was captured by my wonderful best friend)

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’.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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
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.'

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.

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.

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.

Harvey was one of the few Cornish-born artists
associated with the Newlyn Colony and Lamorna
Artists. He was the son of a bank manager and grew up
in Penzance in the 1870s and 1880s, just when the area
was becoming an artistic haven.

'Five AM' probably depicts art students or models at the painting school which Procter ran with his friend, Harold Harvey, between 1920 and around 1928, in a large studio near the old harbour in Newlyn.

Stanhope Forbes, RA (1857-1947)
As he was painting the picture in July 1888, Stanhope Forbes reported in a letter that there were '... fishermen getting up a fight nearby when I was working, and I had all the village round me. My picture blew over in the mud!'
