亚瑟•休斯是一位拉斐尔前派的美术家。
有人曾这样评价他的画：”the knife-edge between sentiment and sentimentality” 但因为明亮的用色和细致的细节，休斯的作品并不显得感伤。 他也是一个十分活跃的插画家。

Ophelia 　　　奥菲利娅
Painting Date: 1851-53
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 68.5 x 124 cm
Location: Manchester City Art Galleries, Manchester, England
休斯笔下的奥菲利娅纤弱优美,宛若林泽女神.

画框上有这样的题诗：
‘There is a willow grows aslant the brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she come.
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples.
There on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds
Clambering to hang an envious sliver broke.
When down the weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook.’

April Love 　　　四月之恋
Painting Date: 1855-56
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 89 x 49.5 cm
Location: Tate Britain, London, England

1856年此画展出时附有丁尼生（Tennyson）的磨坊主的女儿（The Miller’s Daughter）中的诗句作为注释：

‘Love is hurt with jar and fret.
Love is made a vague regret;
Eyes with idle tears are wet,
Idle habit links us yet.
What is love? for we forget:
Ah, no! no!’
“相当优雅，可爱的色彩。少女颤抖的嘴唇，甜美温柔的脸，犹豫不决的姿态，就像在风中颤抖的树叶上的一滴剔透的露珠。”(引自Academy Notes, 1856, 14.68).

Knight of the Sun 　　　　太阳骑士
Painting Date: 1861 (?)
Medium: Watercolour
Size: 22.5 x 32 cm
Location: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England

上了年纪的战士受了重伤，正被人抬往僧侣的帐篷，黄昏的景象暗示了英雄迟暮的悲凉。

Ophelia and He Will Not Come Again 　奥菲利娅
Painting Date: 1863-64
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 94.5 x 59.5 cm
Location: Toledo Museum of Art, Toldeo, Ohio, USA
休斯描述奥菲利娅临死前，她正接近湖面，回眸张望，唱着她的最后一支歌：
‘Ophelia (sings)
And will he not come again?
And will he not come again?
No, no he is dead
Go to thy death-bed
He never will come again.
His beard was as white as snow,
All flaxen was his poll:
He is gone, he is gone,
And we cast away moan;
Gramercy on his soul!
And of all Christian souls, I pray God –
God be wi’ you.
Exit’.

罗塞蒂(Dante Gabrie Rossetti,1828–1882)或许是拉斐尔前派中最有特色的画家。他是一位杰出的诗人，抒情诗人的气质使他的作品具有了一种颇为动人的梦幻般情调。不拘成法、单纯而又奇特的《圣母领报》(1850)，于宗教情绪中揉入了对性爱的迷恋，体现出他艺术的基本特色。

罗塞蒂作品多取材于圣经、希腊神话，但不同于以往描绘神的作品，他既不是让神处于高高在上的地位，也不像文艺复兴时期的画家把神世俗化，罗塞蒂笔下的神仙有人的感情，但比人的感情更纤细，含着天真的喜悦或淡淡的忧郁。罗塞蒂喜用明亮的色彩，人物造型优雅。 

Ecce Ancilla Domini! 圣母领报 
Painting Date: 1849-50 
Medium: Oil on canvas 
Size: 73 x 42 cm 
Location: Tate Britain, London, England 
是罗塞蒂最著名的作品之一，圣母领报这个及其俗气的宗教题材在其笔下有一种与众不同的感伤主义的意味：白衣消瘦的圣母，眼神中流露出空虚，寂寥的神情。

Arthur’s Tomb: The Last Meeting of Lancelot and Guinevere 亚瑟王之墓 
Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti 
Painting Date: 1854 
Medium: Watercolour 
Size: 23.5 x 36.8 cm 
Location: British Museum, London, England 
以亚瑟王故事为题材的作品，色彩明朗，典型的拉斐尔前派创意 

Mary Magdalen 
Painting Date: 1857 
Medium: watercolour 
Location: Tate Britain, London, England 
色彩明快清新的小品 

How Sir Galahad, Sir Bors, and Sir Percival were fed with the Sanc Grael; but Sir Percival’s Sister died by the Way 
Painting Date: 1864 
Medium: Watercolour 
Size: 29.2 x 41.9 cm 
Location: Tate Britain, London, England 
又是一幅与亚瑟王传奇有关的作品。罗塞蒂在这幅作品中使用暗调，创造出有些沉重悲哀的气氛
