Biography:
Francis Hayman, English illustrator and painter, probably first studied with Gainsborough. He eventually became one of England’s most flexible artists, painting literature and theater subjects, folklore scenes, and portraits. He was also deemed the best historical painter in England before Cipriani. Hayman was also a prolific book illustrator and occasionally collaborated with Gravelot. He was president of the Society of Artists from 1766 to 1768 and helped found the Royal Academy in 1768, becoming the school’s librarian three years later.
