Hippolyte Adolphe Taine fut un philosophe, critique et historien français majeur, considéré comme l'influence théorique principale du naturalisme français. Promoteur éminent du positivisme sociologique, il fut l'un des premiers praticiens de la critique historiciste, un mouvement dont on dit qu'il trouve son origine chez lui. Taine est particulièrement connu pour son approche distinctive en trois volets de l'étude contextuelle d'une œuvre d'art, basée sur les aspects qu'il appelait "race, milieu et moment".
