Framed Print of The late Mr. John Pye, engraver, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The late Mr. John Pye, engraver, 1874. By the death...of Mr. John Pye, at the advanced age of ninety-two, we lose one of the foremost landscape engravers of his time, and one who@will occupy a prominent position in the history of British art. At an early age, Pye became a skilful draughtsman...Pye remained with his master [James Heath] about four years, and during this time he began to develop those principles of chiaroscuro - that power of colouring, so to speak, in its elementary black and white - in which he soon became a master, and an acknowledged authority both with painters and engravers. He also evinced a rare faculty for interpreting atmospheric effects, which rendered him one of the most successful exponents of the works of Turner...Turner always spoke of Pye's engravings as the most satisfactory translations of his colour into black and white...Pye was never elected into the pale of the Royal Academy [however]...he was probably instrumental in bringing about the reform by which engravers are now eligible for lull membership, and are no longer limited to the associate grade. He was virtually the founder of the excellently managed self-supporting Artists Fund'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
