Edwin Hayes,[1] R.I. (1819–1904) was an English and Irish marine artist who painted in oil and watercolours.
Hayes was born in Bristol, England, but brought up in Dublin, Ireland, where his father was a hotelier.
[citation needed] Hayes painted seascapes in Ireland, England, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain and Italy, his work invariably featuring ships and boats in high seas,[2] harbour scenes[3] or other aspects of the coastline.
[citation needed] His son Claude Hayes, R.I., ROI, (1852–1922) was also a notable landscape and portrait painter.
[citation needed] A painting by Hayes was featured and restored in a 2021 episode of the BBC Television programme The Repair Shop.
