Description
This is a large stunning marine watercolour by the artist William Thomas Nichols BOYCE who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner and dated it 1909.-
ABOUT THE ARTIST
WILLIAM THOMAS NICHOLS BOYCE (1857-1911)
Was a marine and landscape painter in oil and watercolour. Originally from Norfolk he moved to South Shields in 1872.
He was a joiner and a draper before becoming a full time artist. Boyce exhibited at the South Shields Art Club and the Bewick Art Club, Newcastle, and at the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle from 1905 until his death.
-
Boyce's sons were all artistically gifted:Albert Ernest Boyce, Herbert Walter Boyce and Norman Septimus Boyce.
-
The painting depicts shipping at the mouth of the Tyne at Tynemouth at sunset, with a Tyne steam paddle tug towing a schooner into harbour.
-
The structure seen about halfway along and beneath the smoke of the tug is the groyne light, normally known locally as just the groyne.This is also still in service.
-
To the right is the lighthouse on the end of the North Pier, with the ruins of Tynemouth Castle and Priory on the headland behind it.
The last vestiges of sunlight are streaming through the red streaked clouds and reflecting on the water.
-
The North Pier which was originally curved in its design, was badly damaged by storms in 1898 along 300 feet of its length and was rebuilt by 1908 much straighter and with a new lighthouse, as shown in the painting. The lighthouse is still in use today.
Although a very accomplished artist, we have been unable to find any trace of him in any of our reference books, or, as his surname can also be French or Belgian, in Benezit.
-
Due to the size of the work, we have not mounted it, but have newly framed it in a dark gilt rope design frame that complements it very well.
