Edward Robert Hughes

Edward Robert Hughes

Edward Robert Hughes (1851-1914) is a well known English painter who worked in a style influenced by Pre-Raphaelitism and Aestheticism. Some of his best known works are "Midsummer Eve" and "Night With Her Train of Stars". Hughes was the nephew of Arthur Hughes. He often used watercolour/gouache. He was elected ARWS in 1891 and chose as his diploma work for election to full membership a mystical piece inspired by a verse by Christina Rossetti's "Amor Mundi". Technically Hughes experimented with ambitious techniques. He was a perfectionist who did numerous studies which in their own right turned out to be good enough for exhibition

He was also an assistant to the elderly William Holman Hunt. He helped the increasingly infirm Hunt with the version of "The Light of the World" now in St. Paul's Cathedral and with "The Lady of Shalott". He died on April 23 1914 at his cottage (no. 3 Romeland) in St. Albans, Hertfordshire.
