Howard Pyle

    5 de marzo de 1853 – 9 de noviembre de 1911

    Howard Pyle fue un ilustrador y autor estadounidense, conocido principalmente por sus obras para jóvenes lectores. Sus narrativas exploraron frecuentemente ambientaciones de la Europa medieval y relatos de aventuras, y se hizo célebre por sus ilustraciones de piratas, a las que se atribuye la creación de la imagen arquetípica moderna del atuendo pirata. Pyle influyó significativamente en generaciones posteriores de artistas a través de su docencia en el Drexel Institute y la fundación de su propia escuela de ilustración. Sus obras perdurables, que incluyen retransmisiones clásicas de Robin Hood y cuentos del Rey Arturo, continúan cautivando por su alcance imaginativo y su maestría artística.
