This quality was strikingly present in Caillebotte’s remarkable picture of men renovating the floor of his new apartment ( Les raboteurs de parquet).Īt that time (about 1875), the art establishment only deemed rustic peasants or farmers as acceptable subjects from the working class – interiors should only depict formal paintings of the non-working-class. Caillebotte’s father was twice widowed before marrying Caillebotte’s mother, Celeste Daufresne (1819-1878), who had two more sons after Gustave, Rene (1851-1876) and Martial (1853-1910).Ĭritics such as Edmond Duranty saw the sense of contemporary realism, which was often to be found in Impressionist works, as one of their greatest virtues.

His father, Martial Caillebotte (1799-1874), was the inheritor of the family’s military textile business and was also a judge at the Seine department’s Tribunal de Commerce. Gustave Caillebotte was born to an upper-class Parisian family. Caillebotte was noted for his early interest in photography as an artform. Gustave Caillebotte, was a French painter, member and patron of the group of artists known as Impressionists, though he painted in a much more realistic manner than many other artists in the group. Two Men Scraping Floor (1876, oil on canvas, private collection, dimensions not known) and two charcoal studies for the painting.Three Men Scraping Floor (1875, oil on canvas, 146 cm × 102 cm), Musée d’Orsay, Paris and a study for the painting.The Registers of Henry Scott Tuke (1858 - 1929), Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, 1983: no. References in the text are from B.D.Price, ed. The fact that this beautiful young man only had three more years to live, adds to the poignancy of this particular painting and reminds us that Tuke captured ‘A lost generation of youth’. Some returned, but Nicola was one of the unlucky ones and he was killed in 1916 at Trentino in his native Italy. Like so many of Tuke’s young male models at this time, they were called up or volunteered to fight in the Great War. Nicola also featured in another painting of that year called July Sun , which Tuke boasted he painted ‘practically in one sitting’ Tuke gave July Sun to the Royal Academy in 1914. Nicola therefore can be seen to have played a key part in Tuke’s election as a Royal Academician, as he was the model that Tuke featured in Tuke’s diploma work for the Royal Academy Bathing Group painted in 1913.

The painting of Nicola titled Fawn was exhibited the year Tuke became a full Royal Academician.

The few differences being that Fawn is a three-quarter-length nude portrait of Nicola and was, according to Tuke’s register, painted at the back of Newporth beach, Falmouth. This portrait head and shoulders of Nicola can be seen as a study in preparation for Tuke’s important work called Fawn which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1914, as this painting also features Nicola Lucciani arms outstretched grabbing branches of green shrubs that surround him. He also mentions working from the model in his garden in a letter to his mother in 1913. Tuke notes in his register of paintings that this particular portrait of Nicola was painted in his garden at Swanpool, Falmouth in Cornwall in 1913. Tuke had started teaching at the Royal Academy Schools in January 1913 and that is possibly where he met Lucciani.

Nicola was the first professional model Tuke had used since his first paintings of the nude outdoors painted in Falmouth in 1885 when the model was a cockney lad, Walter Shilling. With his deeply tanned, olive brown skin, dark curly hair and almost black brown eyes, Nicola provided a more exotic colouring than Tuke’s usual models, made up of local Cornish working lads.
