Eyre Crowe ( born October 3, 1824 in Chelsea, † December 12, 1910 in London ) was an English painter, illustrator and graphic artist.

Eyre Crowe, brother of Joseph Archer Crowe and uncle of Eyre Crowe, was initially in London by William Darley, then taught in Paris by Paul Delaroche, with whom he went to his further education to Rome in 1843.

In 1844 he returned to London and debuted in 1846 with the Picture: Prynne studied the Archbishop Laud, the pockets in the Tower, followed by the Battle of Agincourt, the Roman Carnival and Holbein paints the King Edward VI. followed.

After he had spent 1852 to 1857 in America, he came back to London and created a series of images telling a great depth of feeling, a most excellent characteristic of the figures and a thorough study of the details, but in color often hard and are dry.

• The funeral Goldsmiths (1863 )
