Raffles is the founder of modern Singapore.]]'''Thomas Woolner''' (17 December 1825 – 7 October 1892) was an English [[sculpture|sculptor]] and poet.

Nato nel [[Suffolk]] il suo insegnante fu lo scultore [[William Behnes]].

Fu uno dei membri fondatori della [[confraternita dei preraffaelliti]], espose i suoi lavori alla [[Royal Academy]] dal [[1843]].

Le sue inclinazioni classicheggianti si trovarono in contrasto con il medievalismo dei preraffaelliti, ma la pratica dell'osservazione precisa della natura si trovò d'accordo con le sue idee.

Born in [[Hadleigh]], [[Suffolk]] he was a founder-member of the [[Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood]]. Woolner trained with the sculptor [[William Behnes]], exhibiting work at the [[Royal Academy]] from 1843.

Woolner's [[classic]]al inclinations were rather difficult to reconcile with Pre-Raphaelite Medievalism, but his belief in close observation of nature was consistent with their aims.

Woolner was a close friend of [[Alfred Tennyson]], providing him with the scenario for his poem ''Enoch Arden''. His speculations about human anatomy also impressed [[Charles Darwin]], who named part of the human ear the '[[Darwin's_tubercle|Woolnerian Tip]]' after a feature in Woolner's sculpture ''Puck''.
