James Baker Pyne was a British painter. A native of Bristol, and educated as a lawyer, he began painting in his early twenties and gained a considerable reputation as a landscape painter, in the lyrical Romantic style popular at the time. After moving to London in 1835, he exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Society of British Artists, where he also served as vice president. He was a prolific artist and traveller, who journeyed throughout Britain and Europe. He did a large series of paintings of the English Lake District that were made into prints, including this one.<\/p>\n
W. Gauci was a British printmaker active 1835-54.<\/p>\n
Condition: Generally very good with the usual light toning, wear, soiling, soft creases. Some minor scattered staining, not obtrusive. Some abrasions in margins, easily matted out.<\/p>\n

Pyne included people in each one, engaged in activities such as boating, fishing, ice skating or walking, which helps convey the grand scale of the mountainous terrain and adds a bit of picturesque detail about rural life. The Lake District was celebrated in the poetry of Wordsworth, who lived near Rydal Water, shown in one of the prints.<\/p>\n Product Description Continues Below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12207,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[6777,5858,924],"product_tag":[42,6628,3041,6627,124,1769,6624,6626,2565,475,1236,1550,868,6625,2308,688,6623,709,2933,2633],"class_list":{"0":"post-11759","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-britain-maps-views","7":"product_cat-british-country-house","8":"product_cat-landscapes-vistas","9":"product_tag-19th-century","10":"product_tag-agnew","11":"product_tag-baker","12":"product_tag-barrowdale","13":"product_tag-british","14":"product_tag-brothers","15":"product_tag-coniston","16":"product_tag-derwent","17":"product_tag-district","18":"product_tag-english","19":"product_tag-james","20":"product_tag-lake","21":"product_tag-landscape","22":"product_tag-lowes","23":"product_tag-pyne","24":"product_tag-river","25":"product_tag-rydal","26":"product_tag-view","27":"product_tag-vista","28":"product_tag-water","29":"post","30":"post-with-thumbnail","31":"post-with-thumbnail-large","33":"first","34":"instock","35":"purchasable","36":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16494,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11759\/revisions\/16494"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11759"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11759"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
