George Hayes
(1823-1895)

George Hayes was a British artist born in Huddersfield in 1824 and working in Manchester and Wales. He was a versatile painter of landscapes, scenes with figures, seascapes and portraits. The signature on River with Swans matches the signature on his other works.

Hayes was a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art and was living in Conway, Caernarvonshire in 1881 and 1891, where he died in 1895. Many of his paintings depict scenes of Wales. He was very much involved in the local community - painting scenery for the amateur dramatic society and giving painting lessons.

Newspapers of the time report court cases where Hayes was claiming money owed to him for a piece of art and for lessons he had given. He, himself, was sued by a builder for an unpaid bill.

In 'The Wet List' column of The North Wales Chronicle of 1 July 1882, Hayes and his wife, Jane Ellen, were fined for being drunk and disorderly.

He was one of the Manchester artists who found work as a designer in the calico printing industry.

He exhibited widely including Manchester (1877), Cardiff (1882), Newcastle (1884) and
Liverpool (1885).

This beautiful landscape was purchased damaged. It was repaired, cleaned and touched up before being re-framed.
