"Hayes Common 1852-53" is a landscape painting by British artist William Henry Millais (1828–1899), the elder brother of the more famous Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais. The painting depicts a serene view of Hayes Common, an area of open land in the London Borough of Bromley, as it appeared in the mid-19th century. William Henry Millais, though not as well-known as his brother, was a competent artist in his own right, and his works often reflect a keen observation of nature and a meticulous attention to detail, characteristics that were also central to the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

Completed between 1852 and 1853, "Hayes Common 1852-53" showcases the tranquil beauty of the English countryside during a period of significant change and industrialization. The painting is characterized by its naturalistic representation of the landscape, with a focus on the changing light and seasons, which would have been in contrast to the more idealized or romanticized landscapes of earlier periods. Millais' use of color and light suggests the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites, who advocated for a return to the detail, color, and complexity observed in nature.

While not as widely recognized as the works of his younger brother, William Henry Millais' "Hayes Common 1852-53" is an important piece within the context of mid-19th century British landscape painting. It reflects the transitional period in art history where artists were moving towards more realistic depictions of their surroundings, influenced by the growing interest in naturalism and the detailed study of the natural world.

As a historical artifact, the painting also serves as a visual record of Hayes Common during a time when many such commons were being encroached upon by urban development. Today, the painting is of interest not only to art historians and enthusiasts of the Pre-Raphaelite movement but also to those studying the environmental and social history of the Victorian era.
