Synopsis
The Life, Letters And Table Talk Of Benjamin Robert Haydon by Benjamin Robert Haydon is a nineteenth-century biographical collection that gathers the life, correspondence, and table talk of the English historical painter. Drawing on Haydon’s own writings—letters, journals, and conversations—the book traces his extraordinary ambition to revive grand historical painting in England, his anatomy-and-model training, and his tireless search for living truth in art. It chronicles his encounters with the Elgin Marbles, his battles with the Royal Academy, and his appeals for public patronage and design education. The volume preserves his friendships with Keats, Wordsworth, Wilkie, Hazlitt, Scott, and Leigh Hunt, and records his long, precarious struggle to complete monumental works such as Dentatus and Jerusalem amid poverty, debt, and public controversy. Rich in anecdote and spiritual struggle, the work portraits a genius driven by devotion to national art and ultimately shadowed by a tragic end in 1846.
