Early life

Hayter was the son of Charles Hayter (1761–1835), a miniature painter and popular drawing-master and teacher of perspective who was appointed Professor of Perspective and Drawing to Princess Charlotte and published a well-known introduction to perspective and other works. Initially tutored by his father, he went to the

Encouraged by his patron, John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford, he travelled to Italy to study in 1816. There he met

Historical portraiture

A Controversy on Colour by John Hayter enlg

Returning to London in 1818, Hayter practised as a portrait painter in oils and history painter. Dubbed ‘The Phoenix’ by William Beckford, Hayter showed a pomposity that irritated his fellow artists, but he mixed freely with many aristocratic families. His unconventional domestic life (separated from his wife, yet living with his mistress) set him apart from official Academy circles: he was never elected to the Royal Academy. Hayter was most productive and innovative during the 1820s. George Agar-Ellis (later Lord Dover) commissioned '' The Trial of Queen Caroline'' depicting

Return to the Continent

In 1826 Hayter settled in Italy. ''The Banditti of Kurdistan Assisting Georgians in Carrying off Circassian Women'' (untraced), completed in Florence for John Proby, 1st Earl of Carysfort (exhibited British Institution 1829), demonstrated Hayter's assimilation of the style and exotic subject-matter of contemporary French Romantic art. In 1827 his mistress, Louisa Cauty, died after poisoning herself with arsenic. Although it was apparently an accident, in a bid for attention, it was widely assumed that he had driven her to suicide, and he was forced by the scandal to move from Florence to Rome. By late 1828 he was in Paris, where his portraits of English society members (some exhibited at the Salon in 1831) were stylistically akin to the work of recent French portrait painters such as

François Gérard François Pascal Simon Gérard (, 4 May 1770 – 11 January 1837), titled as Baron Gérard in 1809, was a French painter. He was born in Rome, where his father occupied a post in the house of the French ambassador, and his mother was Italian. A ...

Royal patronage

Coronation portrait of Queen Victoria 1838

In 1831 Hayter returned to England. His grandiose plan to paint the first sitting after the passage of the Reform Bill resulted in his painting ''Moving the Address to the Crown on the Opening of the First Reformed Parliament in the Old House of Commons, 5 February 1833'' (1833–1843; London, N.P.G.), for which he executed nearly 400 portrait studies in oil. Hayter was an ardent supporter of the reform movement and this painting was not commissioned but to all intents and purposes a labour of love. It occupied him for ten years with no guarantee of financial reward. This is one of the last images executed of the interior of the old

before its destruction in the fire of 1834. The painting was finally purchased by the government for the nation in 1854, 20 years after it was started. Having painted the young Princess Victoria (1832–3; destr.; oil sketch, Brit. Royal Col.), Hayter was not a surprising choice as the new Queen's 'Portrait and Historical Painter'. But on the death of Sir David Wilkie in 1841 Hayter's appointment as Principal Painter in Ordinary to the Queen caused some annoyance at the Royal Academy as this appointment had historically been the preserve of the President, then Sir

. In 1842 Hayter was knighted. He painted several royal ceremonies including Queen Victoria's coronation of 1838 and marriage of 1840 and also the Christening of the Prince of Wales of 1843 (all Brit. Royal Col.). He also painted several royal portraits including his most well-known work the State Portrait of the new Queen Victoria. Several versions of this portrait were done, with the assistance of the artist's son Angelo, to be sent as diplomatic gifts. Hayter's active period at court was short-lived, however, because Albert preferred German painters such as

in May 1845. He planned to move back to the continent but could not after he received severe leg injuries in July 1845 train accident. His wife, Sarah, died in 1844, and on 12 May 1846 he married (Helena) Cecilia Hyde, née Burke (1791/2–1860). After she died in 1860, Hayter married Martha Carey, née Miller (1818–1867) on 23 April 1863. By the mid-1840s Hayter's portrait style was considered old-fashioned. He adjusted his type of history painting to suit the more literal taste of the early Victorian era (e.g. ''Wellington Viewing Napoleon's Effigy at Madame Tussaud's''; destr. 1925; engraving, 1854).Hayter painted several large religious paintings including two depicting important Reformist events, ''Bishop Latimer Preaching at Paul's Cross'' and ''The Martyrdom of Bishops Ridley and Latimer'' (exh. 1855), both of which were given to Princeton University Art Museum, USA in 1984. He painted several biblical scenes from the Old and New Testament, among them ''The Angels Ministering to Christ'' in 1849 (V&A) and ''Joseph Interpreting the Baker's Dream'' in 1854 ( Lancaster City Museum). He also produced fluent landscape watercolours (many of Italian views), etchings (he published a volume in 1833), decorative designs and sculpture. On 18 January 1871 Hayter died at his home in London. He was buried in St Marylebone cemetery in East Finchley. The contents of Hayter's studio were auctioned at Christie's, London, on 19 April 1871.

Stanley William Hayter was a direct descendant from John Hayter, although others say the ancestor was Sir George Hayter himself. However the family tree of John and George Hayter published in Crisps Visitations shows no possible link to SW Hayter. What is known for certain is that the French painter and writer, Jean René Bazaine was a great great grandson of George Hayter, through his eldest daughter Georgiana Elizabeth, who married Pierre-Dominique Bazaine older brother of Marshal Bazaine.''Jean Bazaine: Couleurs et Mots'': le cherche midi éditeur, 1997 (entretiens avec Paul Ricœur et Henri Maldiney)
