The Annunciation

1857 · Oil · Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham

A quiet stillness settles over the scene as a golden archway frames a glimpse into a private, sacred garden.

The Singer

1866 · Oil On Canvas

A young woman sits in an upright oval composition, her pale skin luminous against a backdrop of muted greens and purples. She holds a lyre-like instrument, her fingers poised as if caught in the silent breath before a note is struck. The air around her feels heavy with the scent of lilac, the delicate petals of which bloom in the textured background. Her auburn hair falls in soft, organic curls,…

The Mower

1865 · Oil

The composition is vertically oriented, centering on the back and profile of a man positioned within a meadow. He is a solitary laborer, paused in his work. The figure holds a scythe, the organic curve of the tool cutting through the verticality of the surrounding vegetation. He is dressed in clothing that shows visible brushstrokes, creating a textured surface that contrasts with the softer rendering of the landscape. The color…

Margaret Lushington, Mrs Stephen Langton Massingberd (d.1906)

1903 · Oil On Canvas

A serene Edwardian-era portrait captures a woman standing amidst a lush, blooming garden. Positioned slightly to the right, the subject maintains a balanced composition against a receding landscape. The scene is defined by a palette of soft, natural tones: the crisp white of her dress, the deep blues of delphiniums and irises, and the various greens of the surrounding foliage. In the distance, the warm, earthy tones of a manor…

Arthur Hughes: liv og værk

tidligt liv og uddannelse

Arthur Hughes, en britisk maler og illustrator tæt knyttet til det prærafaelitiske broderskab, blev født i London den 27. januar 1832. I 1846 påbegyndte han sin kunstneriske rejse ved kunstskolen på Somerset House, hvor hans første læremester var Alfred Stevens. Senere fulgte han Royal Academy Schools, hvor han mødte skikkelser som John Everett Millais og Holman Hunt, hvilket cementerede hans plads i den prærafaelitiske gruppe af malere.

bemærkelsesværdige værker og stil

Hughes' første værk, Musidora, blev udstillet på Royal Academy, mens han kun var 17 år gammel. Han fortsatte med at bidrage til Royal Academy og senere til udstillingerne på Grosvenor og New Gallery næsten hvert år. Hans mest berømende værker inkluderer April Love og The Long Engagement, som skildrer ulykkelige par i dybe overvejelser om kærlighedens og skønhedens forgængelighed, inspireret af John Everett Millais' tidligere "par-malerier".

personligt liv og eftermæle

I 1855 indgik Hughes ægteskab med Tryphena Foord, som også fungerede som hans model for April Love. Han gik bort i Kew Green, London, den 22. december 1915 og efterlod sig omkring 700 kendte malerier og tegninger samt over 750 bogillustrationer. Hans datter, Emily, blev desværre tvunget til at destruere hans forberedende skitser og private papirer på grund af pladsmangel efter sin mors død i 1921.

kunstnerisk stil og indflydelser

magisk, glødende farvelægning og finfølt tegnekunst er de træk, der karakteriserer Hughes' værker. Han var desuden inspireret af forfatteren George MacDonald, som han illustrerede flere bøger for, og han producerede talrige illustrationer til Norman Macleods månedlige magasin, Good Words.

- April Love, 1855 (udstillet på Grosvenor Gallery) - The Long Engagement, 1862 (udstillet på New Gallery) - Musidora, 1849 (udstillet på Royal Academy)
