The artist died in Bayswater in 1863, aged 77. Hands (1860), Academic Studies (nd) & Study (nd). There have been exhibitions of his work in the past but it’s clear that another one, especially of his treatment of the nude is needed.

Initially he painted landscapes before, as his reputation grew, he turned to genre by 1808. His first works were shown at the 1804 RA exhibition. Suffolk Landscape (c1810), John Varley (1814) & Horses (1816). Varley was his brother-in-law.

More history paintings. The final one here is St Sebastian. The Saint has been used since the time of Michelangelo & Perugino as a way of expressing homosexuality. Nowadays with rampant homophobia & Transphobia its vital that we celebrate & acknowledge the voice of Philpot.

Another trope the artist investigated was show people. Their costume & poses allowed him to present a gay man’s vision & explore homoerotic themes. The circus was the subject of those who felt like outsiders too. We see Picasso, in particular, use it as a Spaniard in France.

One of Philpot’s major interests was depicting black men. Here are subjects painted with sensitivity, understanding & empathy. He also created sculptures of these sitters. The idea of fellow outsiders appealed to him.
