Newlyn School
The Newlyn School was an influential group of artists based in Newlyn, a fishing village in Cornwall, England, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in the 1880s, it became known for its focus on naturalistic painting and the depiction of local life, landscapes, and the sea. The artists often worked en plein air, capturing the changing light and atmosphere of the coastal environment.
Key figures of the Newlyn School included Stanhope Forbes, Elizabeth Forbes, and Walter Langley. Their works often featured scenes of fishermen, women, and children, reflecting the daily life of the community. The Newlyn School played a significant role in the development of British Impressionism and contributed to the broader art movement of the time.
