阿瑟·休斯-人物-轻识

简介

阿瑟·休斯（Arthur Hughes，1832年1月27日-1915年12月22日），英国前拉斐尔派画家和插画家。休斯出生于伦敦，在皇家美术学院学习的时候，结识了罗塞蒂、米雷斯和亨特，他们曾一同完成了牛津联合大厅的壁画工程。他的绘画风格自始至终受到前拉斐尔派风格的影响，许多主题都来自其他成员的创作，如奥菲利亚、阿瑟王故事、但丁故事等。他忠实于文艺复兴前的艺术家的真实质朴，甚至带着一丝中世纪的刻板僵硬，人物也都像中世纪绘画中那样身形纤细，下颌尖瘦，没有太强的肉体感，但在其中强调了他特有的一些风格。所以他的女主人公多是精灵或小树般的少女，画中的背景永远是在如梦般飘着隐隐雾气的自然中。此外，他还是拉斐尔前派中最成功的插图作者，从1860年以来，为多种杂志、书籍工作过。在他之后的几个英国插图作者，都模仿他的风格来为幼儿故事和神话做插图。

四月的爱

The painting depicts a young couple at a moment of emotional crisis. The male figure is barely visible, his head bent over the young woman's left hand. The woman is looking down at fallen blossoms, suggesting the end of spring, and of early and young love.The model for the principal figure was Tryphena Ford, who Hughes married in 1855

漫长的婚约

The title refers to middle class social conventions of the time, in particular the fact that the parents of a girl engaged to a poorly paid curate would typically not allow the marriage until he had secured a more remunerative position - i.e. within the church hierarchy. The girl is depicted looking at her own name (Amy) carved, some while ago, into the trunk of the tree by her fiancé as an expression of his love. The carving, however, is about to be covered by rambling ivy - growing up the trunk; ethereal youthful passion is becoming lost to lassiez-faire worldly capitalist demands. It can be said that this symbolism reflects the stark realities of late 1850s and 1860s Victorian England
