Edwin Hayes was born in Bristol but brought up in Dublin. He studied art at
the Dublin Society Art School and first exhibited his work at the RHA (Roy-
al Hibernian Academy) in 1842. He remained in Dublin for ten years before
moving to London. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, the British
Institution, the Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in
Watercolours, becoming a full member of the latter in 1863. He painted sea-
scapes in Ireland, England, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain and Italy, his work
inevitably featuring ships and boats in high seas, harbour scenes or other aspects
of the coastline.
