WILLIAM (1806–1864) , See also:British painter, was See also:born in See also:Aberdeen, where his See also:father, a See also:fellow of the Royal Society, was a physician of some repute. He attended Marischal See also:College, took the degree of M.A. at sixteen years of See also:age, and was destined for one of the learned professions. Showing a turn for See also:design instead, he studied in the school of the Royal Scottish See also:Academy in See also:Edinburgh, then as a probationer (not a full student) in the Royal Academy of See also:London, and thence, in 1825, he proceeded to See also:Rome, where he spent nine months. He returned to Aberdeen in 1826, and painted several pictures; one of these, " Bacchus nursed by the See also:Nymphs of Nysa," was exhibited in 1827. In the autumn of that See also:year he went back to See also:Italy, showing from the first a strong sympathy with the earlier masters of the Florentine and allied See also:schools. A " Virgin and See also:Child " which he painted in Rome in 1828 was much noticed by See also:Overbeck and other See also:foreign artists. In 1829 Dyce settled in Edinburgh, taking at once a See also:good See also:rank in his profession, and showing considerable versatility in subject-See also:matter. Portrait-See also:painting for some years occupied much of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time; and he was particularly prized forlikenesses of ladies and See also:children. In See also:February 1837 he was appointed See also:master of the school of design of the See also:Board of Manufactures, Edinburgh. In the same year he published a pamphlet on the management of schools of this description, which led to his See also:transfer from Edinburgh, after eighteen months' service there, to London, as See also:superintendent and secretary of the then recently established school of design at See also:Somerset See also:House. Dyce was sent by the Board of See also:Trade to the See also:continent to examine the organization of foreign schools; and a See also:report which he eventually printed, 184o, led to a remodelling of the London See also:establishment. In 1842 he was made a member of the See also:council and inspector of provincial schools, a See also:post which he resigned in 1844.

In 1835 he had been elected an See also:associate of the Royal Scottish Academy; this See also:honour he relinquished upon settling in London, and he was then made an honorary R.S.A. In 1844 he became an associate, in 1848 a full member, of the London Royal Academy; he also was elected a member of the Academy of Arts in See also:Philadelphia. He was active in the deliberations of the Royal Academy, and it is said that his See also:tongue was the dread of the urbane See also:President, See also:Sir See also:Charles See also:Eastlake, for Dyce was keen in speech as in visage; it was on his proposal that the class of retired Academicians was established.

Dyce was one of the most learned and accomplished of British painters-one of the highest in aim, and most consistently self-respecting in workmanship. His finest productions, the frescoes in the robing-See also:room in the Houses of See also:Parliament, did honour to the See also:country and time which produced them. Generally, however, there is in Dyce's See also:work more of earnestness, right conception, and See also:grave, sensitive, but rather restricted See also:powers of realization, than of See also:authentic greatness. He has See also:elevation, draughtsmanship, expression, and on occasion fine See also:colour; along with all these, a certain leaning on precedent, and castigated semi-conventionalized type of See also:form and treatment, which bespeak rather the scholarly than the originating mind in art. The following are among his See also:principal or most interesting See also:works (oil pictures, unless otherwise stated). 1829: " The Daughters of See also:Jethro defended by See also:Moses "; " Puck." 183o: " The See also:Golden Age "; " The See also:Infant See also:Hercules strangling the Serpents" (now in the See also:National See also:Gallery, Edinburgh);" See also:Christ crowned with Thorns." 1835: " A Dead Christ " (large See also:lunette altarpiece). 1836: " The Descent of See also:Venus," from See also:Ben See also:Jonson's See also:Triumph of Love; " The See also:Judgment of See also:Solomon," See also:prize See also:cartoon in See also:tempera for See also:tapestry (National Gallery, Edinburgh). 1837: " Francesca da See also:Rimini " (National Gallery, Edinburgh). 1838, and again 1846: " The Madonna and Child." 1839: " See also:Dunstan separating See also:Edwy and Elgiva." 1844: " See also:Joash See also:shooting the Arrow of Deliverance " (the finest perhaps of the oil-paintings). 185o: " The See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
Meeting of See also:Jacob and See also:Rachel." 1851: " King See also:Lear and the See also:Fool in the See also:Storm." 1855: " Christabel." 1857: " See also:Titian's first See also:essay in Colouring." 1859: " The Good Shepherd." 186o: ". St See also:John bringing See also:Home his Adopted See also:Mother "; " Pegwell See also:Bay" (a See also:coast See also:scene of remarkably See also:minute detail, showing the painter's partial See also:adhesion to the " pre-Raphaelite " See also:movement). 1861: " See also:George See also:Herbert at Bemerton." Dyce executed some excellent cartoons for stained See also:glass:—that for the choristers' window, See also:Ely See also:Cathedral, and that for a vast window at See also:Alnwick in memory of a See also:duke of See also:Northumberland; the design of " See also:Paul rejected by the See also:Jews," now at See also:South See also:Kensington, belongs to the latter. In See also:fresco-painting his first work appears to have been the " See also:Consecration of See also:Archbishop See also:Parker," painted in See also:Lambeth See also:palace. In one of the See also:Westminster See also:- HALL

Hall competitions for the decoration of the Houses of Parliament, he displayed two heads from this See also:composition; and it is related that the See also:great See also:German fresco-painter See also:Cornelius, who had come over to See also:England to give See also:advice, with a prospect of himself taking the See also:chief direction of the pictorial See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme, told the See also:prince See also:consort frankly that the See also:English ought not to be asking for him, when they had such a painter of
their own as Mr Dyce. The cartoon by Dyce of the " See also:Baptism of Ethelbert " was approved and commissioned for the House of Lords, and is the first of the works done there, 1846, in fresco. In 1848 he began his great frescoes in the Robing-room—subjects from the See also:legend of King See also:Arthur, exhibiting chivalric virtue. The whole room was to have been finished in eight years; but See also:ill-See also:health and other vexations trammelled the artist, and the See also:series remains uncompleted. The largest picture figures " Hospitality, the See also:admission of Sir Tristram into the fellowship of the See also:Round Table." Then follow—" See also:Religion," the See also:Vision of Sir Galahad and his Companions; " Generosity," Arthur unhorsed, and spared by the See also:Victor; " See also:Courtesy," Sir Tristram harping to la Belle Yseult; " See also:Mercy," Sir Gawaine's See also:Vow.

Dyce was an elegant See also:scholar in more ways than one. In 1828 he obtained the See also:Blackwell prize at Aberdeen for an essay on See also:animal See also:magnetism. In 1843-1844 he published an edition of the See also:Book of See also:Common See also:Prayer, with a dissertation on Gregorian See also:music, and its See also:adaptation to English words. He founded the Motett Society, for revival of See also:ancient church-music, was a fine organist, and composed a " non nobis " which has appropriately been sung at Royal Academy banquets. His last considerable See also:writing See also:relating to his own art was published in 1853, The National Gallery: its Formation and Management.
