William Dyce

[edit]

William Dyce was a figure of some importance in the Victorian art world. In addition to his painting, he designed the Victorian silver florin, an exceptionally beautiful coin. He also designed a drinking-water fountain at the heart of Streatham, the London suburb (then village) where he lived.

Dyce played a crucial role in drawing public attention to the Pre-Raphaelite painters when they first appeared and were widely attacked. In particular he drew the attention of the great critic John Ruskin to picture by J.E. Millais, which led to Ruskin's defence of the Pre-Raphaelites in The Times.
