William Lionel Wyllie (1851–1931) was a prominent British maritime artist known for his detailed and evocative paintings, etchings, and watercolors of naval and coastal scenes. Born into an artistic family in London, Wyllie was the son of William Morrison Wyllie, a well-regarded painter, and the brother of Charles William Wyllie, also an artist. He received his formal education at the Heatherley School of Fine Art and the Royal Academy Schools, where he honed his skills and developed a deep appreciation for maritime subjects.

Wyllie's career spanned the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, during which he became one of the most celebrated marine artists of his time. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, dynamic compositions, and the ability to capture the essence of life at sea. Wyllie had a profound understanding of naval architecture and the behavior of ships in various weather conditions, which lent authenticity and vitality to his art.

Throughout his career, Wyllie produced a vast body of work, including paintings, etchings, and illustrations. His art was widely exhibited, and he received numerous accolades, including the Turner Gold Medal in 1869. Wyllie was also an accomplished author and illustrator, contributing to several publications on maritime history and naval warfare.

One of his most significant contributions was his involvement in the creation of the Panorama of the Battle of Trafalgar, a monumental painting displayed at the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth. This work, completed in collaboration with other artists, remains a testament to his skill and dedication to maritime art.

Wyllie's legacy endures through his extensive body of work, which continues to be celebrated for its historical significance and artistic excellence. His paintings and etchings are held in numerous public and private collections, including the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the Imperial War Museum in London.
