Herbert Draper (London, 1863 – London, September 22, 1920) was an English Classicist painter whose career began in the Victorian era and extended through the first two decades of the 20th century. Draper's most productive period began in 1894. He focused mainly on mythological themes from ancient Greece. During his lifetime Draper was quite famous and a well known portrait painter. In his last years his popularity faded, though there has recently been a revival of interest in his work on the art market.
