John Valentine Haidt (an anglicanization of Johann Valentin Haidt) (1700–1780) was a German-born American painter and Moravian preacher in Pennsylvania.
Life
Haidt was born in Danzig, Prussia (modern day Gdańsk, Poland).[1] He was educated at Berlin, and studied painting at Venice, Rome, Paris, and London.[2]
When he was 45 or 46 years old, Haidt set out on an artistic career. He immigrated to British North America in 1754.[2] He was ordained a deacon of the Moravian Church, and evangelized.[3]
Haidt is known for his early dramatic paintings depicting Biblical ideas, and his later portraits of Moravian church members and early leaders of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.[4] He died on 18 January 1780, at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.[2]
