Henry Hawes Craven Green (3 July 1837 – 22 July 1910) was an English theatre scene-painter.He collaborated with Henry Irving, Richard D'Oyly Carte and Herbert Beerbohm Tree, producing stage sets of unprecedented realism.
Craven's career lasted from 1853 to 1905, spanning the end of the era of gas lighting in theatres and the beginning of electrical lighting; he developed new techniques to co-ordinate the appearance of theatre settings during the transition from gas to electricity.
He was regarded as the finest scene-painter of his day and was the last major scenic designer in the ultra-realistic tradition.
