London, June 22, 1846. History painter, pupil of Royal Academy in
1805; exhibited in 1809 his Dentatus murdered by his own Soldiers,
but dissatisfied with the position assigned it refused to contribute
any more. After painting portraits in Plymouth, he won a considerable
reputation in 1814 by his Judgment of Solomon, which sold for 700
guineas. In 1820 he produced Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem, the
exhibition of which in London brought him 3,000 guineas; but it
procured him no commissions, and was finally sold for £240 and sent
to America. It is now in Philadelphia. Though in great pecuniary
difficulties and several times the inmate of a debtor’s prison, he
still clung to the belief that he was the great historical painter
of the age, and that his efforts would in time be appreciated. His
Raising of Lazarus (14 x 20 ft.), now in the National Gallery, was
exhibited with some success in 1823, and a few years afterwards his
Venus appearing to Anchises, Alexander taming Bucephalus, and Euclus.
By teaching and lecturing he maintained his family for a time, but
falling into new troubles and overwhelmed by disappointment at the
cold reception given in 1846 to his Banishment of Aristides, and
Nero watching the Burning of Rome, he committed suicide. Haydon’s
Lectures on Painting were published in 1844–46, and his Life from
his autobiography and journals, edited and compiled by Tom Taylor,
