James Baker Pyne was the father of Thomas Pyne. He was initially a lawyer but subsequently took up painting and went on to exhibit in London from 1828. He settled in London in 1835 and became a member of the Society of British Artists in 1842. He spent 1846 visiting Switzerland, Germany and Italy. He visited Italy again in 1851, bringing back notes and sketches. Pyne's work portrays the English countryside, particularly the Lake District, with affection. He also authored publications on topography.
