Thirty years before Haydon's death his huge, iconic paintings had made him the toast of 19th-century London, drawing paying crowds to the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly. However, his attempt to repeat such success three months before his death was to destroy him: barely a soul turned up, leaving the desperate painter alone, and facing financial ruin.
