Howard Pyle

    March 5, 1853 – November 9, 1911

    Howard Pyle was an American illustrator and author, primarily of works for young readers. His narratives frequently explored medieval European settings and adventure tales, and he became renowned for his pirate illustrations, credited with creating the modern archetypal image of pirate dress. Pyle significantly influenced subsequent generations of artists through his teaching at the Drexel Institute and by founding his own school of illustration. His enduring works, including classic retellings of Robin Hood and tales of King Arthur, continue to captivate with their imaginative scope and artistic mastery.
