Thomas Jacques Somerscales (1842–1927) was a British painter renowned for his maritime and landscape paintings, particularly those depicting scenes from the coastlines of Chile and the South Pacific. Born in Kingston upon Hull, England, Somerscales initially pursued a career in teaching before turning his attention to painting. His early life was marked by a passion for the sea, which was reflected in his later works.

Somerscales' journey into the world of art began somewhat unconventionally. He initially trained as a teacher and worked in this profession for several years. However, his love for the sea and adventure led him to join the Royal Navy, where he served as a schoolmaster. It was during his naval service that he developed a keen interest in maritime subjects, which would later become the hallmark of his artistic career.

In the 1870s, Somerscales moved to Valparaíso, Chile, where he spent a significant portion of his life. His time in Chile proved to be highly influential, as he immersed himself in the local culture and landscapes. The vibrant coastal scenes and the dynamic maritime life of the region provided endless inspiration for his paintings. Somerscales' works from this period are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, dramatic lighting, and a deep sense of realism.

Somerscales' reputation as a painter grew both in Chile and internationally. His works were celebrated for their technical proficiency and their ability to capture the essence of maritime life. He exhibited his paintings in various prestigious venues, including the Royal Academy in London. Despite his success, Somerscales remained a humble and dedicated artist, continually striving to perfect his craft.

In his later years, Somerscales returned to England, where he continued to paint until his death in 1927. His legacy endures through his evocative and masterfully executed paintings, which continue to be admired by art enthusiasts and collectors around the world. Thomas Jacques Somerscales remains a significant figure in the world of maritime art, celebrated for his contributions to the genre and his ability to bring the sea to life on canvas.
