.
A " Virgin and See also:Child " which he painted in Rome in 1828 was much noticed by See also:Overbeck and other See also:foreign artists

.
In See also:February 1837 he was appointed See also:master of the school of design of the See also:Board of Manufactures, Edinburgh

In the same year he published a pamphlet on the management of schools of this description, which led to his See also:transfer from Edinburgh, after eighteen months' service there, to London, as See also:superintendent and secretary of the then recently established school of design at See also:Somerset See also:House
.
Dyce was sent by the Board of See also:Trade to the See also:continent to examine the organization of foreign schools; and a See also:report which he eventually printed, 184o, led to a remodelling of the London See also:establishment

He died at See also:Streatham on the 14th of February 1864, leaving two sons and two daughters
.
Dyce was one of the most learned and accomplished of British painters-one of the highest in aim, and most consistently self-respecting in workmanship
.
His finest productions, the frescoes in the robing-See also:room in the Houses of See also:Parliament, did honour to the See also:country and time which produced them
.
Generally, however, there is in Dyce's See also:work more of earnestness, right conception, and See also:grave, sensitive, but rather restricted See also:powers of realization, than of See also:authentic greatness
.
He has See also:elevation, draughtsmanship, expression, and on occasion fine See also:colour; along with all these, a certain leaning on precedent, and castigated semi-conventionalized type of See also:form and treatment, which bespeak rather the scholarly than the originating mind in art
.
The following are among his See also:principal or most interesting See also:works (oil pictures, unless otherwise stated)
.
1829: " The Daughters of See also:Jethro defended by See also:Moses "; " Puck." 183o: " The See also:Golden Age "; " The See also:Infant See also:Hercules strangling the Serpents" (now in the See also:National See also:Gallery, Edinburgh);" See also:Christ crowned with Thorns." 1835: " A Dead Christ " (large See also:lunette altarpiece)
