Why is this image in the public domain?
The Artist died in 1924 so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries where the copyright term is the Artist's life plus 70 years or fewer.

One of the Newlyn School’s many Birmingham-born painters, Fortescue began his career as an engineering designer before setting out to train as an artist. He studied in Paris, going on to travel in Europe; he is thought to have visited Venice in c.1883/4, as he exhibited Venetian scenes at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists at this time.

Fortescue seems to have arrived in Newlyn around 1885, staying at Mrs. Maddern’s house, Belle Vue, where Stanhope Forbes was also resident.

He appears as a Newlyn resident in the 1891 census, after which he moved to the nearby village of Paul for a few years, then moving to St. Ives, where he remained for the rest of life.

Fortescue was not the most prolific of the Newlyn painters, but did exhibit and sell his work, showing at Dowdeswell, Nottingham and Whitechapel art galleries. He died in St. Ives on 12th March 1924, aged 73.
