Richard Caton Woodville Jr. RI ROI (7 January 1856 – 17 August 1927) was an English artist and illustrator, who is best known for being one of the most prolific and effective painters of battle scenes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Despite his precocious talent for capturing the dramatic moments of contemporary battles, Woodville also enjoyed recreating historical scenes in both oil and watercolour.

The Illustrated London News commissioned him to complete a commemorative special series recreating the most famous British battles of history.

[8] Caton Woodville died effectively destitute and his grave (No 10112 in the old section of St Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Kensal Green) was not marked at the time of his death.

[9] Richard Caton Woodville is still exhibited in the National Army Museum, the Tate, Walker Art Gallery, and the Royal Academy.
