ARTISTS AFLOAT - TUKE AND HEMY AT SEA
25 Mar 2017 - 17 Jun 2017
Set sail into the Carrick Roads aboard the marine paintings of Henry Scott Tuke and Charles Napier Hemy.
Both of these Falmouth-based Royal Academicians painted many of their artworks out at sea, aboard their own floating studios.
Using research from Tuke's diaries and Hemy's articles and sketchbooks the exhibition will showcase works painted by Tuke on the Julie of Nantes, and by Hemy, whilst afloat in the Vandermeer, on the waters surrounding Falmouth.
