John Keats regarded Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786–1846) as one of the three great geniuses of the age, placing him alongside William Hazlitt and William Wordsworth, both personal friends with whom Haydon worked closely. Of the four, Haydon's reputation has endured the least well but he retains a central place in the history of British painting and was also one of the most important writers on art between Reynolds and Ruskin. He is known today chiefly for four things: his portraits of Wordsworth, his diaries, his championing of the Elgin Marbles against Richard Payne Knight and the establishment, and his hosting in 1817 of ‘the immortal dinner’ at which Wordsworth, Keats, and Lamb sat beneath his enormous canvas of
