埃德溫·奧斯汀·阿比
莎士比亞插畫與壁畫大師
埃德溫·奧斯汀·艾比是一位美國壁畫家、插畫家和畫家。他在如今被稱為插圖「黃金時代」的初期蓬勃發展,並以描繪莎士比亞題材和維多利亞時代題材的畫作與插圖,以及為愛德華七世加冕禮創作的繪畫而聞名。他最著名的壁畫系列《聖杯的追尋與成就》裝飾著波士頓公共圖書館。 艾比於1852年出生於費城。他在賓夕法尼亞美術學院師從克里斯蒂安·舒塞勒學習藝術。艾比的職業生涯始於插畫師,為《哈珀週刊》(1871–1874)和《斯克里布納雜誌》等雜誌創作了大量插圖和素描。他的插圖很早就出現在《哈珀週刊》上:當時艾比還不滿二十歲。他於1871年移居紐約市。他的插圖深受法國和德國黑白藝術的影響。 他還為幾本暢銷書繪製插圖,包括查爾斯·狄更斯的《聖誕故事》(1875年)、羅伯特·赫里克詩選(1882年)以及奧利弗·哥爾德史密斯的《屈身求愛》(1887年)。艾比還於1896年為哈珀兄弟出版社繪製了一套四卷本的《莎士比亞喜劇集》插圖。
