Courtyard in Newlyn leading through to Myrtle Cottage, Fred Millard (1857-1937)
Oil on panel, Newlyn School, around 1890. This painting depicts the courtyard of Myrtle Cottage, where the female students of Stanhope Forbes painting school lodged before the First World War. In 1918, it became the home of Alec and Kay Walker, the founders of Crysede Silk. Fred Millard was born in London and studied in Paris under Jean-Paul Laurens in 1882, where he was a contemporary of Falmouth artist Henry Scott Tuke. A genre painter, he exhibited mainly at the Society of British Artists and at the Royal Academy. Millard was among the original first wave of Newlyn School artists and appears in the group photographs of 1884. By 1894 he had left Newlyn and moved to Hampstead. In 1896 he lived in Boreham Wood, where Tuke frequently visited him by bicycle. Tuke also mentions in his diary that Millard had a dock studio in Falmouth in 1902. It is clear he maintained a home in Falmouth while living primarily in the London area for a number of years. Later he returned, with his wife, to live on Cliff Road at Falmouth, though he continued to exhibit in London, primarily with the Royal Society of British Artists. He died in London aged 80 on 13th October 1937

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautiful courtyard in Newlyn, leading to the charming Myrtle Cottage. Painted by Fred Millard, a prominent artist of the renowned Newlyn School around 1890, this oil on panel artwork captures the essence of this historic location. The courtyard depicted in the painting was once home to female students attending Stanhope Forbes' esteemed painting school before World War I. Intriguingly, after serving as an artistic hub for aspiring painters, Myrtle Cottage later became the residence of Alec and Kay Walker. These visionary individuals went on to establish Crysede Silk in 1918. Millard's connection with Falmouth artist Henry Scott Tuke is also noteworthy; they were contemporaries during their studies under Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris. Although Millard eventually left Newlyn and relocated to Hampstead and Boreham Wood, he maintained ties with Falmouth throughout his life. He even had a dock studio there in 1902. Eventually returning with his wife to Cliff Road at Falmouth, he continued exhibiting primarily with London's Royal Society of British Artists while living predominantly in the capital city. Fred Millard passed away at the age of 80 on October 13th, 1937, leaving behind an impressive body of work that showcased his talent as a genre painter. This particular piece serves as both a testament to his skill and an evocative glimpse into the history and beauty of Myrtle Cottage's courtyard during its heyday as an artistic haven.
