England (1659 – 1695)
Henry Purcell (10th September 1659 – 21st November 1695), was an English composer of the Baroque period.
He is generally considered to be one of England’s greatest composers — indeed, he has often been called England’s finest native composer. Purcell incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements, but devised a peculiarly English style of Baroque music.

i dislike that the current picture is out of proportion, least seems it, it's ridiculous in a way, he's taller and thinner than what seems normal - was purcell podgy, and this funny picture an attempt to make him lean?

Like it or not, the word "classical" has come to mean everything from Vivaldi to Mozart to Tchaikovsky and everything in between. Words change, their meanings evolve, and although you can whine about it all you want, it won't change anything.
