Selected Works from Henry Scott Tuke

Henry Scott Tuke was an English painter renowned for his maritime scenes and depictions of young men, often in a naturalistic and intimate style. There is something nostalgic about many of Tuke's works — his vibrant use of color and light perfectly captures the idyllic and carefree essence of youth.

In his personal and professional life, Tuke met and befriended many fellow artists such as John Singer Sargent, and talented poets, including Oscar Wilde and John Addington Symonds. He traveled often in circles with other Uranian — the term in use at the time for gay men — artists. While Tuke's art prominently features nude young men, his works aren't sexually explicit. Most of his works show young men in the foreground but the star is clearly the sea.

Tuke's legacy is celebrated for its artistic merit and its subtle challenge to the conventions of his time, particularly posthumously. Around the 1970s, his body of work was rediscovered by gay artists, art collectors, and art historians — including Sir Elton John!

You can find these works and more in our gallery!

I've been meaning to post a picture of this shirt for a while, I made it almost a year ago. I just finished making the trousers as well. The shirt was copied from an original arrow shirt and collar I own. The trousers were drafted from an original 1890s manual online, and the construction methods were based on a pair of 1930s trousers I have to fill in the blanks. I replaced the hat band on my boater as well.

I got the fabric for both the shirt and trousers at Fabricmart. My buttons, cufflinks, other accessories/notions were gotten second hand or I already had them.
