Peacham, Henry, approximately 1576-approximately 1643
Variant namesBiographical notes:
The author and illustrator Henry Peacham wrote some of the earliest instructional works on graphic arts in English intended specifically for non-professionals, or gentlemen. The first of these publications was The art of drawing with the pen (London, 1606), a treatise on drawing and watercolors. In 1612, this work was expanded and retitled Graphice. The work was reissued the same year, with a new frontispiece, as The gentleman's exercise. Further expansions appeared in 1634 and 1661. Cf. Levy, F.J. "Henry Peacham and The Art of Drawing." Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes. Vol. 37 (1974), pp. 174-190.
