Enchanted Dreams: The Pre-Raphaelite Art of E.R. Hughes

In this video Victoria Osborne, Curator (Fine Art), introduces the 'Enchanted Dreams: The Pre-Raphaelite Art of E.R. Hughes' exhibition. The exhibition is the first ever retrospective of the British artist Edward Robert Hughes. It brings together paintings, drawings and watercolours from public and private collections in the UK and overseas, many of them unseen in the hundred years since the artist’s death. The exhibition features Hughes’s delightful child portraiture and exquisite chalk drawings as well as the magical late ‘blue pictures’ such as Night with her Train of Stars which have become famous and loved worldwide. The exhibition is on at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery from 17 Oct 2015 - 21 Feb 2016. Admission charges apply. More details visit: http://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/b...
