  • Henry Meynell Rheam,  Wolf Rock Lighthouse between Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
    Mar. 12, 2025

    Henry Meynell Rheam,  Wolf Rock Lighthouse between Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

    Est: £300 - £400

    Henry Meynell Rheam, British 1859-1920- Wolf Rock Lighthouse between Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly watercolour on paper, signed and dated 'HENRY M RHEAM. / 1920.' (lower left), bears inscription 'No. 5 / The Wolf Lighthouse / HM Rheam R.I.' on the reverse, 24 x 36.8 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK (by descent from the present owner's grandfather). Note: Meynell Rheam studied at the Académie Julian in Paris, before settling in Cornwall, where, along with his cousin Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929), he became closely associated with the Newlyn School. He was a prolific watercolourist, utilising the medium to depict the ever-changing waters which surrounded him on the Cornish coast, as in the present work. The lighthouse is 116m in height and is constructed from Cornish granite prepared at Penzance, on the mainland of Cornwall. It took eight years, from 1861 to 1869, to build due to the treacherous weather conditions that can occur between the Cornish mainland and the Isles. The light is visible from Land's End by day and night. It has a range of 23 nautical miles (43 km) and was automated in 1988. The lighthouse was the first in the world to be fitted with a helipad. The fissures in the Wolf Rock are said to produce a howling sound in gales, hence the name.
