William Daniell (1769–1837) was an English landscape and marine painter, and print maker, notable for his work in aquatint. He traveled extensively in India and South Asia in the company of his uncle Thomas Daniell, with whom he collaborated on one of the finest illustrated works of the period – "Oriental Scenery". He later traveled around the British coastline to paint watercolors for his works "A Voyage round Great Britain" (1814-1825), a monumental project comprising more than 300 aquatints. His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. He became a Royal Academician in 1822.
