The birthplace of James Baker Pyne, Bristol, shaped the first creative period of the painter. Like many of his contemporaries, Pyne was fascinated by the romantic view of the world. He found his inspiration in the Romantic painting ofFrancis Danby , who gathered a number of artists around him in Bristol. In the 1820s the group of artists around Danby made regular excursions for inspiration in the immediate vicinity of Bristol. The so-called School of Bristol developed an atmospherically dense style of landscape painting, which mainly took up local motifs. Nature appears here as a resting antipole to the world of man, which it confronts in idealized form, as poetic landscapes.
James Baker Pyne was so fascinated by romantic painting that he decided to become a painter himself. He did not attend an academy or art school, but approached painting as an autodidact. The Bristol School gave the artist the opportunity to discuss artistic aspects and techniques with like-minded people. The representation of nature became a central theme for him. Pyne quickly developed into one of Bristol's most talented students. In 1824 Pyne's oil paintings were first presented to the public at an exhibition in Bristol. In the 1830s, the experience of the modern metropolis London led to a departure from the picturesque landscape painting of the Bristol School. Industrialisation, starting in England, conquered the world and created new realities. These experiences now also shaped Pyne's work and led to new stylistic elements.
In London Pyne met William Turner, who gave a new direction to romantic painting with his expressive style. In Tuner's work, landscapes blur into color impressions. The materiality dissolves in favor of imaginary emotional landscapes. The reality of the new era enters the poetic landscapes. In Turner's work, railways, bridges and modern industrial plants appear. For Pyne this encounter with Turner was groundbreaking for his redefinition of landscape in his paintings. The poetic landscapes of his early work changed into expressive landscape depictions that also reflect the profound changes of the times.
