"Dame Julianna Berners Teaching her Young Pupils the Art of Fishing" is a 19th-century painting by the British artist Richard Doyle, known for his work in illustration and watercolor. The painting depicts Dame Juliana Berners, a figure reputed to have been a prioress and a writer on hawking, hunting, and heraldry in the 15th century. She is traditionally associated with the "Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle" within the "Book of St. Albans," which is one of the earliest English-language works on the subject of fishing.

In Doyle's work, Dame Juliana is portrayed instructing young pupils in the art of angling, a pastime that was becoming increasingly popular in Victorian England as a leisurely pursuit. The painting reflects the romanticized view of the past typical of the Victorian era, as well as the era's interest in medieval history and literature. Doyle's attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors capture the idyllic setting and the serene act of fishing, while also paying homage to the historical figure of Dame Juliana Berners.

The painting is significant for its representation of a female figure in a position of knowledge and authority, particularly in a field that has historically been male-dominated. It also serves as an artistic bridge between the medieval period and the Victorian era, highlighting the continuity of fishing as a skill and a form of recreation across centuries.

As an artist, Richard Doyle was a notable contributor to the periodical "Punch" and was recognized for his fairy paintings and illustrations of Charles Dickens' works. "Dame Julianna Berners Teaching her Young Pupils the Art of Fishing" stands out in his oeuvre as a historical genre painting, offering insight into both the subject matter and the cultural context of the time. The painting is part of Doyle's broader legacy, which includes his influence on later illustrators and his role in the development of the fantasy genre in Victorian art.
