Howard Pyle

    5 mars 1853 – 9 novembre 1911

    Howard Pyle fut un illustrateur et auteur américain, principalement d'ouvrages destinés aux jeunes lecteurs. Ses récits exploraient fréquemment des cadres de la médiévale Europe et des contes d'aventure, et il devint célèbre pour ses illustrations de pirates, auxquelles on attribue la création de l'image archétypale moderne de la tenue de pirate. Pyle influença considérablement les générations d'artistes suivantes par son enseignement au Drexel Institute et la fondation de sa propre école d'illustration. Ses œuvres pérennes, incluant des réinterprétations classiques de Robin des Bois et des récits du Roi Arthur, continuent de captiver par leur portée imaginative et leur maîtrise artistique.
