About Benjamin Haydon
- Benjamin Robert Haydon (; 26 January 1786 – 22 June 1846) was a British painter who specialised in grand historical pictures, although he also painted a few contemporary subjects and portraits.
- His commercial success was damaged by his often tactless dealings with patrons, and by the enormous scale on which he preferred to work.
- He was troubled by financial problems throughout his life, which led to several periods of imprisonment for debt.
- He committed suicide in 1846. He gave lectures on art, and kept extensive diaries that were published after his death.
