Hugh Hughes (1790?–1863) was a Welsh painter, engraver and writer. ==Life== Born at Pwllygwichiad, near Llandudno, son of Thomas Hughes, by Jane, his wife, he was baptised at Llandudno, according to the parish register, 20 February 1790. He lost his parents in childhood, and was educated by his maternal grandfather, Hugh Williams of Meddiant Farm, Llansantffraid Glan Conwy, Denbighshire. Hughes was apprenticed to an engraver in Liverpool; from there he moved to London as an improver, and took lessons in oil–painting. Hughes spent three years (1819–22) at Meddiant Farm, working at his ''Beauties of Cambria'', his best–known work and returned to London after 1823. A radical in religion and politics, he signed a petition in favour of the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill about 1828. The London leaders of the Welsh Calvinistic body, to which he belonged, thenn expelled him from their communion. Hughes denounced this act of intolerance in pamphlets and letters to ''Seren Gomer'' (1828–30). At a meeting of delegates of the Calvinistic Methodists held at Bala in 1831 a resolution was passed deprecating interference with the exercise of political rights. Hughes was not, however, reinstated as member of the denomination.〔 After a time Hughes went over to the Independents, and later to the Plymouth Brethren. In 1832 he wrote, under the pseudonym "Cristion", on church establishments and tithes in controversy with the Rev. Evan Evans (Ieuan Glan Geirionydd).〔 Hughes died at Great Malvern 11 March 1863, and was buried in the cemetery there.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh Hughes (painter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
