Edward Robert Hughes (5 November 1851 – 23 April 1914) was an English painter who worked in a style influenced by Pre-Raphaelitism and Aestheticism. Some of his best known works are ''Midsummer Eve'' and ''Night With Her Train of Stars''. Hughes was the nephew of Arthur Hughes and studio assistant to William Holman Hunt. He often used watercolour/gouache. He was elected ARWS in 1891, and chose as his diploma work for election to full membership a mystical piece inspired by a verse by Christina Rossetti's ''Amor Mundi''. He experimented with ambitious techniques and was a perfectionist; he did numerous studies for many of his paintings, some of which turned out to be good enough for exhibition. For a time, Hughes was an assistant to the elderly William Holman Hunt. He helped the increasingly infirm Hunt with the version of ''The Light of the World'' now in St. Paul's Cathedral as well as The Lady of Shalott. He died on 23 April 1914 at his cottage (no. 3 Romeland) in St. Albans, Hertfordshire. His works can be seen in public collections including Bradford Museums and Galleries, Cambridge & County Folk Museum, Maidstone Museum & Art Gallery, Bruce Castle Museum, Kensington & Chelsea Local Studies, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston, and the National Trust for Scotland. Birmingham Museums Trust is staging a retrospective exhibition, ''Enchanted Dreams: The Pre-Raphaelite Art of E.R. Hughes'', from 17 October 2015 to 21 February 2016 at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Enchanted Dreams: The Pre-Raphaelite Art of E.R.
