Night With Her Train of Stars by Edward Hughes |
|
|
| Edward Hughes
was the nephew of Arthur Hughes, who initially trained him before
he entered the Royal Academy Schools. He was also a studio assistant
to Holman Hunt, in his old age. He seems to have been a self-effacing
character like his uncle. He usually worked in watercolour, which
he did in this, his masterpiece. This symbolist work as characteristic
of the painter at his very best. It is, with it’s muted subtly toned,
blue colouring, angel, & poppies symbolic of death. Buy this poster from AllPosters.com Buy print from Easyart (UK) Buy print on canvas from Illusions Gallery |
