James Hayllar (1829–1920) was an English genre, portrait and landscape painter. Life and workHayllar was born in Chichester in Sussex (now West Sussex), and received his training in art at Cary's Art Academy in London; he painted Cary's portrait in 1851.[1] He went on to study at the Royal Academy. Hayllar travelled in Italy from 1851–53.[2] He was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1850–98, and also showed work at the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) - of which he was a member.[3] He first became known as a portrait painter but later turned his brush to genre art, often featuring pretty young girls (see illustration); his work became very popular. With George Dunlop Leslie (who also lived in Wallingford at the same time), he painted a large portrait of Queen Victoria to celebrate her Golden Jubilee in 1887 - the painting now hangs in Wallingford Town Hall.[4] He married Edith Phoebe Cavell (1827–1899), the aunt of Edith Cavell - the famous British nurse who was to be shot by the Germans for "treason" during World War I. They lived at a house called "Castle Priory"[5] in Wallingford on the River Thames in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire) from 1875–99; scenes from village life in the area often featured in his work there. The couple went on to have 9 children, of whom four became recognised artists (see below). After the death of his wife in 1899, he moved to Bournemouth.[6][7] FamilyHayllar had four sons and five daughters, four of whom, Edith Hayllar (1860–1948),[8][9] Jessica Hayllar (1858–1940),[10] Mary Hayllar (1863–c. 1950),[11] and Kate Hayllar (fl. 1883–1900), became notable artists in their own right; all received their training from their father and exhibited at the Royal Academy.[7] References1. ^Portrait of Francis Stephen Cary by James Hayllar. 2. ^Short biography (John Noott Galleries). 3. ^Short biography (Burlington Paintings). 4. ^Wallingford Town hall. 5. ^Castle Priory was built in 1759 for Judge William Blackstone - see "Sites" (Wallingford history gateway). 6. ^Biography (Oil on canvas, 1875 - Christie's). 7. ^1 Biographies of the Hayllar family (Wallingford History Gateway). 8. ^Edith hayllar online (ArtCyclopedia). 9. ^Edith Hayllar (Clara database of women artists). 10. ^Works by Jessica Hayllar (Art Renewal Center) 11. ^Mary Hayllar (Leicester Galleries) Further reading
