Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PYLE, HOWARD (1853 ) , American artist and writer,
was born at Wilmington,
Delaware
 , on the 5th of March 1853. He was a pupil of the Art Students' League, New
York
 , and first attracted attention by his line drawings after the manner of Albrecht Diirer. His brilliant
work
  as an illustrator made him one of the foremost of American artists, his drawings to illustrate American colonial life, particularly in New England and New Amsterdam, being especially noteworthy; and he published a number of books of fiction, written and illustrated by himself. He also became prominent in decorative painting, his works including " The Battle of Nashville " for the capitol at St Paul, Minnesota, and " The Landing of
Carteret
  " for the Essex county court
house
 , Newark, New
Jersey
 . At his home in Wilmington,
Delaware
 , he established a school of art, instruction being gratuitous, and many successful American illustrators were educated there. In 1907 Howard Pyle was elected a member of the National Academy of Design.
