Joseph Mallord William Turner (Londra, 23 aprile 1775 Chelsea, 19 dicembre 1851) è stato un pittore e incisore inglese. Appartenente al movimento romantico, si può dire che il suo stile abbia posto le basi per la nascita dell'Impressionismo. Nonostante ai suoi tempi fosse visto come una figura controversa, attualmente è considerato l'artista che ha elevato l'arte della pittura paesaggistica ad un livello tale da poter competere con la maggiormente considerata pittura storica. Anche se è diventato famoso per le sue opere ad olio, Turner è anche stato uno dei più grandi maestri britannici nella realizzazione di paesaggi all'acquerello. È conosciuto con il soprannome di Il pittore della luce. William Cosmo Monkhouse (18 March 1840 20 July 1901), poeta e critico inglese. 19mo secolo.
