Howard Pyle (1853 - 1911) The Nation Makers, 1903, Oil on canvas, 40 1/4 × 26 in.
Howard Pyle was a Golden Age Illustrator, painter and author.
Today, Howard Pyle is not nearly as well-known as his
images. However, he was one of America’s most popular illustrators and
storytellers at a time when top illustrators were celebrities. Pyle was also
heavily immersed in documenting the history of America. Pyle considered The
Nation Makers among his most important works and, between 1903 and 1908, he
sent it on tour to New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Green Bay. People stood in
line to see the work on display.
