Giuseppe Hyzler

Giuseppe Hyzler (, 1787 – 19 January 1858 He taught Amedeo Preziosi amongst others.

Hyzler was responsible for removing some Baroque art from St John's Co-Cathedral, including the ornate altar in the chapel of the langue of France.

By the mid-19th century, he was considered one of Malta's most accomplished painters. He was a representative of Neoclassicist and Academic style, until the artistic scene was revolutionized by Romanticism, as practised by Giuseppe Calì. In 1953, Edward Sammut remarked that "Their paintings are noted for the cold academism of the drawing and the rather forced classical poses of their figures."

He died on 19 January 1858.
