Henry Detmold
Edit Profile
Career
The Newlyn School to which he belonged was a group of landscape painters working from the coastal town of Newlyn in Cornwall, some of whom had also spent time on the Continent. Detmold arrived in Newlyn in 1885. He played in the Newlyn cricket team in matches against Street Ives, and in the Artists of West Cornwall XI against Penzance in 1888.
With fellow artists he lodged for a while at 7 Bellair Terrace, Street Ives.
The scenes he painted were of places he visited in England, France, Cairo and North Africa. By 1890 he was living in London, married to a Mission Julia Lane who had been born in 1863 in Metz, Moselle in France.
They moved to Hastings and Street Leonards-on-Sea in about 1892, and by 1900 were living in Paris. Henry Detmold was an uncle of the Detmold twins and played a large role in their art education.
He supplied illustrations for journals and magazines such as The Graphic and was in demand for illustrating books such as "East of Paris" by Matilda Betham-Edwards.
His grave is in the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
