William Daniell

William Daniell was a British landscape painter, marinist and aquatint printmaker, and a Royal Academician.

In his youth he traveled extensively in India with his uncle, the landscape painter Thomas Daniell (1749-1840), with whom he later worked on one of the best illustrated works of the time, Oriental Landscapes. In addition to sketches, William Daniell's diaries contain detailed and insightful descriptions of his travels in North and South India, which formed the basis of their subsequent publications and helped to shape a coherent British view of India.

Daniell was also a prolific engraver and produced countless illustrations for historical and travel works and volumes on the natural world. One of his most famous works was Journey Round Britain (4 volumes, 1814-1825).

William Daniell's work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution, and he became a Royal Academician in 1822.
