High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sir Joseph Archer Crowe (London October 25, 1825 – Gamburg an der Tauber, today Werbach, Germany September 6, 1896), was an English consular official and art critic, whose volumes of the History of Painting in Italy, co-written with the Italian critic Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle (1819–1897), stand at the beginning of disciplined modern art history writing in English, based on chronologies of individual artists' development and the connoisseurship of identifying artist's individual manners or "hands". He was the son of the expatriate Eyre Evans Crowe, and brother of Eyre Crowe, a painter of historical subjects and genre, the friend and amanuensis of William Makepeace Thackeray. The elder Crowe was Paris correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle whose home, with a London interlude 1844–1851, was the centre of a liberal and artistic circle that mixed French and expatriates. During the Crimean War he was the correspondent of the Illustrated London News, and during the Austro-Italian War represented The Times in Vienna.
