Hughes, Arthur

The Oxford Dictionary of Art | 2004 | Copyright

Hughes, Arthur (b London, 27 Jan. 1832; d Kew, Surrey [now in Greater London], 22 Dec. 1915). English painter and illustrator. In the 1850s he was one of the most distinguished of the Pre-Raphaelite sympathizers, remarkable for his lyrical delicacy of colour and drawing. Two paintings are particularly well known—April Love (1856, Tate, London), which Ruskin called ‘exquisite in every way’, and The Long Engagement (1859, City AG, Birmingham). After about 1870, however, his work declined in quality, although he did some good book illustrations. He was shy and withdrawn and in later life he lived in suburban obscurity.
