Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1891, Howard Pyle's "Men of Iron" is the realistic and engaging tale of Miles Falworth, a young squire who comes of age in the 15th century. Pyle was a classically trained illustrator and attended the Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry, and founded his own school called the Howard Pyle School of Illustration and Art. As in many of his other works, Pyle added his own beautiful illustrations to "Men of Iron". These detailed illustrations, along with Pyle's exhaustive research into the customs of medieval knights, makes Miles's story come alive and feel as if it is a historical account of actual events, rather than a fictional tale. Readers of all ages will be charmed by Miles's quest to prove his father's innocence and redeem his family's honor, while also fulfilling his dream of becoming a real knight. History buffs will also find a treasure of accurate descriptions of medieval ceremonies, customs, dress, and weaponry in this tale. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
Autorenporträt
Howard Pyle was an American artist who paints, draws, and writes books, mostly for kids. He was born March 5, 1853, and died November 9, 1911. In the last year of his life, he lived in Florence, Italy. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He began teaching drawing at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry in 1894. This school is now called Drexel University. Violet Oakley, Maxfield Parrish, and Jessie Willcox Smith were pupils of his. He opened his own art and illustration school after 1900. It was called the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. After some time, scholar Henry C. Pitz used the name "Brandywine School" to refer to the illustration artists and Wyeth family artists who worked in the Brandywine area. Some of these artists had studied with Pyle. He shaped many artists who went on to become famous in their own right, including N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Thornton Oakley, Allen Tupper True, Stanley Arthurs, and many more. Bill Pyle and Margaret Churchman Painter had a boy named Pyle. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He went to special schools as a child and liked drawing and writing from a very young age.
