Carl Friedrich Heinrich Werner (4 October 1808 – 10 January 1894)[1] was a German watercolor painter.

Born in Weimar, Werner studied painting under Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in Leipzig.

He won a scholarship to travel to Italy, where he ended up founding a studio in Venice and remaining until the 1850s, making a name for himself as a watercolor painter.

Particularly notable were his watercolors in Jerusalem, where he was one of the few non-Muslims able to gain access to paint the interior of the Dome of the Rock.

He published a large body of work in London as Jerusalem and the Holy Places, and some more watercolors from Egypt in 1875 as Carl Werner's Nile Sketches.
