Thomas Jacques Somerscales (British 1842-1927)Timber Vessel leaving Portland Oregan, A Souther WesterOil on canvasSigned and dated 1903 (lower right), inscribed with title (verso)59 x 105.5cm (23 x 41½ in.)Provenance:Berwick House, ShropshireThomas Jacques Somerscales was a Yorkshire born English teacher who taught in the Navy. In 1865, after travelling around the Pacific he was put ashore in Chile due to ill-health. Whilst there he began teaching at the Makay School in Valparaiso, and it was during this time that he began to paint professionally. After almost thirty years in Chili, Somerscales returned to England in 1892, and exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1893. Examples of Somerscales' work are housed in collections such as Tate Britain, Greenwich Maritime Museum, and Hull Museum, and the artist is perhaps best known in the UK for his depiction of sailing boats at sea. However, his Chilean landscapes, and paintings of notable events in Chilean naval history have meant that he retains a large following in the country to this day and despite spending the last thirty-five years of his live working in England, he is arguably far better known in Chile where many of his works are still viewed as patriotic national icons.
