Hugh William Williams (1773-1829) was a Scottish painter known for his depictions of landscapes.  He began his artistic career training under David Allan and Alexander Nasmyth.  He later befriended J. M. W. Turner, who was an important influence as well as an admirer of Williams’ work

He received the nickname ‘Grecian Williams’ after his extensive travels in Italy and Greece between 1816 and 1818, which greatly influenced his painting style and approach.  Upon his return he published Travels in Italy, Greece, and the Ionian Islands, which provides a detailed itinerary of his journey.  Williams held an exhibition of watercolors based on his tour throughout Europe in 1822 which was widely praised.  The following year, Williams was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
