William Parsons Winchester Dana (18 February 1833 – 8 April 1927) was an American artist who settled in France.
Later he emigrated to London, and became a naturalised British Subject.
His paintings were generally small, painted with oils on canvas in an anglicized tradition.
Dana's transatlanticism influenced Monet and the French impressionists, whom he met in Paris and Normandy.
But his most enduring feature as an artist was a highly personalised, naturalistic style, intimate and affective of familiarity.
Yet he remained very much in the romantic vein of older painters from an earlier period, essentially conservative, but observant of mminute detail.
