Walter Frederick Roofe Tyndale was born in Belgium, but his parents were originally from England. Tyndale received his first artistic education at the Bruges Academy of Art. The family moved back to England when Tyndale was 16 years old. Only two years later he travelled back to Belgium alone to continue his education at the Antwerp Academy of Art. When his training there was finished, he went to Paris. There he was taught by the painters Léon Bonnat and Jan van Beers. At the age of 21, Tyndale finally returned to England, as he could no longer afford to live in Paris. In the years that followed, Tyndale earned his living mainly with genre and portrait paintings, which earned him a certain amount of fame and recognition in his homeland.
Until the 1890s, Tyndale painted almost exclusively in oil colors. His acquaintance with fellow painters such as Claude Hayes and Helen Allingham finally changed that. Tyndale increasingly began to work with watercolors. He moved to the county of Sussex, in the southeast of England, and had a house built there in the style of the Arts and Craft Movement. This art movement was mainly initiated by William Morris and John Ruskin and was a popular architectural style in England and the USA from about the middle of the 19th century until about 1920. Tyndale worked in the house for a few years and also taught there. Hayes and Allingham were good friends of Tyndale and influenced his work significantly. Allingham's influence on Tyndale's painting style seemed to have been less strong than that of Claude Hayes, however. Together with Hayes, Tyndale travelled to the Netherlands and later to Portugal. In Oporto he successfully exhibited some of his works. Helen Allingham led a drawing group in Kent, which Tyndale regularly visited to paint.
Travelling was a great passion of Tyndale, along with painting. Starting in England, he always undertook longer journeys and was inspired by the foreign places to many of his paintings. Tyndale travelled to Italy, especially Sicily and Venice, Japan and Germany. He particularly liked the town of Rothenburg in Bavaria and described it as a "little paradise for painters". Since Tyndale also made many trips to the Middle East and visited countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon and Syria, his later works are often classified as Orientalist. Tyndale documented his innumerable travels in diaries, three of which have survived and are today filled with drawings, letters and postcards by the artist. Tyndale's travels also had a professional aspect, as at the beginning of the 20th century the new color printing technique increased the demand for travel magazines with colorful illustrations. Tyndale was commissioned to paint city and landscape views for various travel destinations. Not only did he paint many pictures for other authors, he also wrote some of the books himself.
