Edward Robert Hughes (Born in 1851) was an English painter who worked in a style influenced by Aestheticism and Pre-Raphaelitism. Some of his best known works are Night With Her Train of Stars and Midsummer Eve. He often used watercolor/gouache. Robert began painting at an early age under the guidance of his uncle, Arthur Hughes who was also a great artist. Robert also worked as a studio assistant to William Holman Hunt. He was a perfectionist and experimented with ambitious techniques; he did numerous studies for many of his paintings. Some of these paintings turned out to be good enough for exhibition. As William Holman Hunt’s assistance, Robert helped the increasingly infirm with the version of The Lady of Shallot and The Light of the World.
