Hippolyte Adolphe Taine fu un filosofo, critico e storico francese. Fu la principale influenza teorica del naturalismo francese e uno dei primi praticanti della critica storicista. Taine è particolarmente ricordato per il suo approccio a tre punti allo studio contestuale di un'opera d'arte, basato sugli aspetti da lui definiti "razza, ambiente e momento". Il suo lavoro ha plasmato in modo significativo la comprensione dell'interazione tra creazione artistica, contesto storico e forze sociali.
