Portrait painting aims to depict people in the painting. This style already played a role in antiquity. Portrait painting really came into its own in the High Renaissance, the most famous example of which is probably the Mona Lisa. Since then, the portrait has become an integral part of painting. Later artists no longer wanted to simply depict a person, but to depict him or her in connection with their surroundings. Thus the bow to genre painting is drawn. In this style, people are shown in everyday scenes or in their family life.
Portrait and genre painting were the passion of James Hayllar. He was born in the south of England, in Chichester. He was drawn to London at a young age. Here he had the opportunity to train at the academy of the renowned art teacher Francis Stephen Cary. There he was obviously highly respected, because at the tender age of 22 James was allowed to paint the portrait of his teacher and mentor. Later James Hayllar continued his studies at the Royal Academy of Arts, where he regularly exhibited paintings. He also exhibited regularly at the British Institution and at the Royal Society of British Artists, of which he was a member. In his time he enjoyed high esteem. This is illustrated by the fact that in 1887 he was commissioned to paint Queen Victoria of Great Britain with his painter colleague George Dunlop Leslie. The two artists created a large portrait of the monarch, which still hangs in Wallingford City Hall today.
Hayllar's portraits were well-known and popular. He painted with incredible attention to detail. His figures are full of depth and seem so vivid, as if they are coming straight out of the frame to meet the viewer. James was a man who was very fond of the finer things in life. He loved to depict pretty young ladies in his paintings. Like in his painting "Hide-and-seek", in which two enchanting girls hide in a blooming rhododendron. Like beautiful girls, he loved beautiful landscapes. So he travelled Italy for two years, which was the destination of many artists' longings in the 19th century.
But even an aesthete like James Hayllar settled down. He met and married Edith Phoebe Cavell. The two loved children - and gave birth to nine of them themselves! A real family of artists, as four of their daughters became recognised painters who also exhibited at the Royal Academy. But Papa James insisted on training the young artists himself. The family lived in the idyllic village of Wallingford on the Thames. In his genre paintings, Hayllar liked to show scenes from everyday village life. After his wife died in 1899, James, who was now eighty years old, moved to the seaside resort of Bournemouth.
