      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Benjamin Haydon was an English artist from Plymouth, known for his historical paintings. Haydon’s father was a skilled printer and publisher and his mother was the daughter of a well-known reverend. While Haydon had many interests as a child, he knew early on that he wanted to be a painter.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1804, young Haydon moved to London and enrolled at the Royal Academy. Haydon worked tirelessly, impressing his peers and professors, and before long he was exhibiting and selling his work. Before long, Haydon was receiving commissions from important clients such as Lord Mulgrave and Sir George Beaumont.</p>

        1832 Oil on Painting<br>
        Birmingham Museum</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Haydon’s relationship with the Royal Academy was weakened after one of his masterpieces, Dentatus. was exhibited in a low profile location, rather than being shown as a focal piece. Haydon felt like while his popularity was growing publicly, the academy did not fully appreciate his work.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/haydon/8.haydon.jpg" alt="Haydon,  John Keats and Benjamin Haydon "></p>

        National Portrait Gallery</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Haydon soon began taking on his own students, the first of whom was Charles Lock Eastlake, who later became a well-known British artist. Haydon continued to receive commissions, received a decent amount of income from his piece <em>The Judgement of Solomon</em>, which helped him financially when his father stopped supporting him.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/haydon/9.haydon.jpg" alt="Haydon,  Napoleon Bonaparte"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Napoleon Bonaparte<br>

        National Portrait Gallery</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Around 1810, Haydon decided to escape London and travelled to Paris with his friend and fellow painter, David Wilkie. When Haydon returned, he painted several large religious paintings, inspired by his time studying at the Louvre.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1821, Haydon married a young woman who was widowed with two children. While Haydon was devoted to his new family, legal issues interfered with their relationship when Haydon was imprisoned in 1823. A committee soon formed to support Haydon’s historical paintings and lobby for his release. Haydon was actually able to use his time in prison productively and execute several paintings, one of which was purchased by King George IV.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/haydon/10.haydon.jpg" alt="Haydon,  William Wordsworth (study)"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">William Wordsworth (study)<br>
        1818 Chalk drawing<br>
        National Portrait Gallery</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">After Haydon’s release, his financial problems continued to mount. He lost several contests, which could have resulted in large monetary prizes. While Haydon was commissioned for a piece Alfred and the Trial by Jury, his debt had climbed into the thousands. In a state of depression and despair, Haydon committed suicide, leaving behind his wife and three children.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">While Haydon’s life ended in a tragic fashion, he can be remembered as one of the most important British, history painters of his time. His paintings can now be found in the collections of major museums across Britain and around the world.</p>
