Sir Joseph Archer Crowe war ein englischer Konsularbeamter und Kunstkritiker. Sein wegweisendes Werk, das er zusammen mit Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle verfasste, markiert den Beginn einer disziplinierten modernen Kunstgeschichtsschreibung in englischer Sprache. Dieser Ansatz basiert auf detaillierten Chronologien der Entwicklung einzelner Künstler und der kritischen Kennerschaft, die zur Identifizierung einzigartiger künstlerischer Stile oder „Manier“ erforderlich ist.
