This artist was such a fan of one of his own paintings that he requested that he be wrapped in its canvas after he died, though he was convinced to change his mind.

This artist collaborated with an unrelated engraver with the same surname on a book of prints called Liber Studiorum. Due to a stipulation in his will, two of his paintings are displayed alongside two landscapes by Claude Lorrain, who greatly influenced him, at the National Gallery. The title cyclops can barely be seen in his painting (*) Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus. A bright yellow sunrise is in the background of a landscape by this artist depicting a scene from the Aeneid. A small hare can be seen in his painting of a bridge on the Great Western Railway. For 10 points, name this painter of Dido Building Carthage and Rain, Steam and Speed.
