==Early life and education==
Born in [[Rome]], then still Lazio and not part of Italy as such, the son of the wealthy [[United States|American]] landscape painter [[William Stanley Haseltine]] (1835–1900) who was  associated with the [[Hudson River School]] and [[Luminism (American art style)|Luminism]], he studied at [[Harvard University]]. After graduating in 1899, Haseltine went to [[Munich Academy]] in [[Germany]] to study drawing and then to the [[Académie Julian]] in [[Paris, France]] where he studied painting.

==Career==
After his first piece of sculpture met with success, he pursued that artistic avenue. Inspired by the gathering of artists from around the world to the [[Montparnasse Quarter]] of Paris, Haseltine chose to make Paris his home for the next thirty-five years until the [[German occupation of France during World War II]]. He moved to the United States where he remained until 1947 at which time he returned to France.

Haseltine sculpted a variety of animals but is best known for his equestrian sculptures, most notably the 1934 life-size statue of the [[thoroughbred]] [[race horse]] [[Man o' War]] at the [[Kentucky Horse Park]] in [[Lexington, Kentucky]] and "George Washington on Horseback", [[Bronze|Gilded bronze]] statue at the [[Washington National Cathedral]] made in 1959.<ref name="George Washington on Horseback">{{cite web | author=Save Outdoor Sculptures! | year=1993 | title=George Washington on Horseback(sculpture)  | work=SOS! | publisher=Smithsonian | url=http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=all&source=~!siartinventories&uri=full=3100001~!6543~!0#focus}}</ref> He also traveled to India, where he made an oversized statue of one of the ancestors of the [[Maharaja]] of [[Nawanagar State|Nawanagar]],  Jam Shri Rawalji in 1933.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot/LotDetail.jsp?lot_id=159479392 |title=A model of the monument to Jam Shri Rawalji:  plaster with gilding and polychrome |publisher=''[[Sotheby's]]'', New York }}{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> It can still be seen there. He replicated many of his large works in table-top sizes. The author of a number of books on animalier art, Haseltine was well connected in [[American upper class]] society and did a three-year project to create a work for heiress [[Barbara Hutton]]. This project included two horses heads which were gilded bronze, with precious and semi precious stones. After her death the heads disappeared and resurfaced a few years ago at an auction in New York.
