Ernest Dade, later known as Ernst Dade (born Kensington, England,[2] 1868;[3] died London, 3 November 1935[1][3][4]) was an English painter,[3] specialising in coastal and maritime subjects,[3] and maker of model ships.[2] He was a member of the Staithes group, based in the North Yorkshire fishing village of Staithes.[2]

Early life

Dade's father, Frederick Dade (1836–1874),[5] was a photographer,[5] married to Matilda Toye (1835–1919) in 1859.[5] Ernest had two older sisters and the family moved to Scarborough early in Ernest's life.[2] He later had another two sisters and three brothers,[5] one of whom, the youngest, Fred (1874–1908), was also a maritime artist.[5]

His first job was as a deck-hand on the American yacht, Dauntless.[2] In 1885–1886, he studied at Scarborough School of Art, under Albert Strange.[6] From the age of twenty he studied at the Académie Julian in Paris.[2] He later studied fresco and mural painting in the South of France.[2]

He exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists,[2] the New English Art Club (of which he became a member in 1887[7]), the Royal Academy (from 1887 to 1901),[7] the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours,[2] the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers,[7] the Walker Art Gallery[2] and the Staithes Art Club.[2]

Personal life

Dade married Maud Alderson-Smith in St Martins Church, Scarborough in 1913.[6] With her he returned to London where he had a studio at St John's Wood, sub-let in part to fellow Staithes Group members Laura and Harold Knight.[6]

He was a member of the Society for Nautical Research.[8] and wrote articles about boats and sailing, for their quarterly journal, The Mariner's Mirror.[9] He was also a founder member and first Captain of the Scarborough Sailing Club, in 1895.[6]

Dade died in London in 1935,[4][6] and was survived by Maud.[4]
