Can only speak to English:
Shakespeare Walter Pater Ralph Waldo Emerson William Hazlitt Henry James Samuel Johnson John Ruskin Virginia Woolf Herman Melville Joseph Addison D.H. Lawrence John Milton Richard Steele Walter Savage Landor Samuel Taylor Coleridge Thomas De Quincey Charles Lamb Shelley Thomas Carlyle Thomas Browne
In terms of recent-ish writers: Fitzgerald, Hemingway, James Baldwin, Philip Roth, Ralph Ellison, Pynchon, Morrison, and Updike (very overrated overall, but his prose style was impressive).

Hugo and Dickens are the first who come to mind.

Elena Ferrante, probably the most talented writer currently working.
