<p>William Daniell was an English landscape and marine painter, and printmaker, best known for <em>Oriental Scenery</em>, made in India in collaboration with his uncle Thomas Daniell. They travelled extensively together, taking themselves from Calcutta and Delhi to the Himalayas and war-torn Southern India documenting hill-forts, temples and new architecture in 144 coloured aquatints. In 1813 Daniell decided to undertake what was to be his greatest artistic work, <em>A Voyage Round Great Britain</em> and in 1822 he became a Royal Academician. His work is held in national collections in the UK, India and the USA. </p>
