Eyre Crowe was a Victorian painter of historical and genre works of art. He studied in Paris with the French artist Paul Delaroche, and at the Royal Academy Schools in London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1846 to 1908. He is also known for his friendship with William Makepeace Thackeray, whom he met in the 1830s. In 1852-1853 Crowe accompanied Thackeray on a lecture tour, which he recalled in his book With Thackeray in America (1893).
