Anthony Baynes was born in New Zealand. Came to England and studied art at the Slade School of Art. War evacuation meant that the school moved to the Ashmolean in Oxford where Baynes studied under the professorship of Randolphe Schwabe.
After the war taught art at the Badminton School. In 1949 travelled to Greece, became the first art student at the British School of Archaeology. In the fifties lived in Crete. Held one man show in Athens in 1955 and in London in 1958.
An accomplished paint in gouache and oils, producing a number of notably fine portraits. Also a designer of both murals, theatrical sets (briefly for Sadler's Wells in the 1940s) and decorated furniture, Baynes was a notable designer of dust jackets from the 1950s to the 1970s, working for publishers including John Murray, Capes and Eyre and Spottiswoode. Painted murals at the London Stock Exchange and the Guildhall in Portsmouth in 1959. In the late 1980s and 90s mainly exhibited locally particularly in Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds specialising in portraiture.
