Henry Pether (1800–1880)[a] was an English landscape painter famous for his depiction of moonlit scenes of 19th century Britain, Paris, and Venice.

However, Henry generally signed his paintings, which were more realistic and refined,[6] whilst those of his brother Sebastian had more greenish tones.

Pether is detailed in his painting of Greenwich Hospital's architecture and river scene, which are illuminated by a full moon.

[4][7] In Twickenham by Moonlight the English picturesque style has been combined with the romanticism of artists such as Caspar David Friedrich (1744–1840).

The landscape is dominated by the Thames, which reflects the subtle glow of the full moon above.Between 1828 and 1862 Henry Pether exhibited at the Royal Academy.
