Edwin Hayes, A view of Dublin Bay, National Gallery of Ireland, a typical subject

Edwin Hayes, RI (7 June 1819 – 7 November 1904) was an English painter who specialised in marine art.

Life and works

Hayes was born in Bristol, England, but brought up in Dublin, Ireland, where his father was a hotelier. He studied art at the Dublin Society Art School and first exhibited his work at the RHA (Royal Hibernian Academy) in 1842. After serving as a seaman on a ship sailing to America, he remained in Dublin for ten years before moving to London in 1852. He painted scenery at the Adelphi Theatre and other London theatres, a common employment for young artists. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, British Institution, Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, becoming a full member of the latter in 1863.[1]

Boats in a Gale off Ostend, Belgium, 1875, Nottingham Museums

Hayes painted seascapes in Ireland, England, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain and Italy, his work almost invariably featuring ships and boats in high seas,[2][3] harbour scenes[4] or beach or shoreline subjects, all most often from the south coast of England. Huon Mallalieu says he "has an accurate eye for detail, and is traditional in manner".[5] Hayes died on 7 November 1904 in London.[6]

His son Claude Hayes, R.I., ROI, (1852–1922) was also a notable landscapist, latterly mostly in watercolour.[7]

A painting by Hayes was featured and restored in a 2021 episode of the BBC Television programme The Repair Shop.[8]
