The idea of publishing a series of engravings after paintings in the National Gallery (which had opened to the public in 1824) originated with John Pye, and was subsidised by John Sheepshanks. Seven instalments appeared by 1840. Pye was a leading advocate of the Royal Academy's opening full Membership to engravers. He had petitioned the Prince Regent for this in 1812; in 1826 he and other leading engravers vowed never to apply for Associateship; in 1836 and 1859 he published pamphlets attacking the Academy.
