He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and was greatly influenced by the works of Sir Alfred Munnings, one of the most renowned equestrian painters of the time. Lyne's career flourished when he was commissioned to illustrate several books, including "In the Shire Country" by Susan Shaw and "The Horseman's Year" by Roger Pocock. These commissions allowed him to showcase his talent for capturing the grace and power of horses in motion. His paintings often featured scenes of racing, hunting, and polo, and were characterized by their dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color. In addition to his illustrations, Lyne was also a prolific painter, exhibiting his work at prestigious galleries such as the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Tryon Gallery. His paintings were highly sought after by collectors and patrons, and he received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career. Lyne's legacy lives on in his stunning paintings, which continue to be admired by art enthusiasts and equestrian enthusiasts alike. His ability to capture the spirit and beauty of horses in motion makes him a cherished artist in the annals of art history.
