Giuseppe Hyzler (1787 – 19 January 1858) was a Maltese painter. Born in Malta with a German background, he was awarded a scholarship by the Governor of Malta, Sir Thomas Maitland, in 1814, to pursue his artistics formation in Rome. There Hyzler joined the Nazarene movement, led by Friedrich Overbeck, of whom his brother Vincenzo Hyzler (1813-1849) had grown close. The Nazarenes lived in a community near Rome, wearing black dresses and long hair; they deemed sacred art as the highest cultural expression, in particular 14th-15th century frescoes. After the community dissolved, Giuseppe Hyzler returned to Malta in 1823, where he opened a private art school. He taught Amedeo Preziosi among others.

| - Giuseppe Hyzler (1787 – 19 January 1858) was a Maltese painter. Born in Malta with a German background, he was awarded a scholarship by the Governor of Malta, Sir Thomas Maitland, in 1814, to pursue his artistics formation in Rome. There Hyzler joined the Nazarene movement, led by Friedrich Overbeck, of whom his brother Vincenzo Hyzler (1813-1849) had grown close.

After the community dissolved, Giuseppe Hyzler returned to Malta in 1823, where he opened a private art school. He taught Amedeo Preziosi among others. Hyzler was responsible for removing some of the Baroque art of Saint John's Co-Cathedral, including the ornate altar in the Chapel of the Langue of France. By the mid-19th century he was deemed among the most accredited painters in Malta, a representative of neoclassicist and academic style, until the artistic scene was revolutionised by Romanticism as brought 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." (en)
