Ernest Frederick Dade
Ernest Frederick Dade (1864–1935) was a British painter and illustrator, best known for his maritime scenes depicting the life of fishermen and the sea. Born in London, Dade moved to Yorkshire, where he became associated with the Staithes Group, a colony of artists who focused on painting coastal life. Dade's works often captured the day-to-day activities of fishermen and sailors, presenting them with a keen sense of realism and authenticity.
Dade’s ability to depict the movement of the sea and the character of maritime life made him a respected figure in British marine painting. His works, both in oil and watercolor, have been exhibited in several galleries across the UK, and he was a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Today, his paintings remain significant as representations of British coastal and maritime heritage.
