Someone should do a six-degress of separation for Howard Pyle; his influence touched so many artists, often through direct teaching: Alice Barber Stevens, N C Wyeth, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Maxfield Parrish, Ethel Franklin Betts, Jessie Willcox Smith, Harvey Dunn, Violet Oakley,
Sarah Stilwell Weber, Thornton Oakley, Frank Schoonover; it's amazing, he stands as one of the fathers of American Illustration and a first Golden Age Artist, lending his skills to book (Lady of Shalott, Adventures of Robin Hood, several Arthurian legend books) and magazine (St. Nicholas, Harper's) work, especially in color, for a rapidly maturing print industry. The Brandywine Conservancy and the Delaware Art Museum house
over 100 of his works.
