Books by Benjamin Robert Haydon

Before the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846) committed suicide, he asked for his autobiographical writings to be published. Edited by Tom Taylor, this three-volume work appeared in 1853. Volume 1 reproduces Haydon's account of his life up to 1820. His Conversations and Table-Talk is also reissued in this series.

Artist, diarist, and devotee of the Elgin Marbles, Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846) is best known for his large-scale paintings and outspoken views. In this two-volume work, first published in 1876, his son provides a memoir and brings together letters to and from eminent correspondents, along with journal extracts.
