 | Arthur Hughes _ English Painter (b London, 27 Jan 1832; d Kew Green, London, 22 Dec 1915). English painter and illustrator. In 1846 he joined the School of Design at Somerset House, London, under Alfred Stevens. The following year he won an art studentship to the Royal Academy Schools, where in 1849 he won the silver medal for antique drawing. In the same year he showed his first painting at the Royal Academy, Musidora (Birmingham, Mus. & A.G.), a conventionally painted nude. In 1850, while still a student, he saw a copy of the periodical The Germ, which converted him to PRE-RAPHAELITISM and led to his meeting William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox Brown, though he never became an official member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Hughess first exhibited work in the new style, Ophelia (exh. RA 1852; Manchester, C.A.G.), was admired by Millais, whose own Ophelia (18512; London, Tate) was in the same exhibition. They became friends and Hughes sat for Millaiss The Proscribed Royalist (exh. RA 1853; priv. col.). From about 1852 to 1858 Hughes shared a studio with the sculptor Alexander Munro. Arthur Hughes (Londra, 27 gennaio 1831 Londra, 23 dicembre 1915) è stato un pittore e illustratore inglese, appartenente alla confraternita dei preraffaelliti. Le sue opere più note sono Amore d'aprile (April Love) e Il lungo fidanzamento (The Long Engagement), il cui soggetto comune è l'amore contrastato di una coppia. Hughes risente particolarmente dell'influenza di John Everett Millais e del gusto florale tipico del decadentismo, che determina una grande presenza di vegetazione nei suoi dipinti. L'artista si è inoltre occupato della figura di Ofelia e di altri soggetti da William Shakespeare, ha illustrato il poema La vigilia di Sant'Agnese (The Eve of St. Agnes) di Keats ed alcune opere di George MacDonald, di cui era amico.
