{"product_id":"enid-and-geraint-arthur-hughes","title":"Enid and Geraint - Arthur Hughes","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Pre-Raphaelite depiction of the Arthurian couple Enid and Geraint, captured in a quiet, detailed woodland setting by Arthur Hughes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArthur Hughes, a painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, produced this work during a period of intense interest in Arthurian legend. The subject is drawn from the Mabinogion, specifically the tale of Geraint and Enid, which also appeared in Alfred Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King. The composition depicts the two figures resting in a woodland setting, a common motif in Hughes's oeuvre that allows for the meticulous rendering of natural details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting displays the characteristic Pre-Raphaelite attention to surface texture and colour. The deep crimson of the garments contrasts with the verdant greens of the forest floor, where small wildflowers are painted with botanical precision. Enid, with her auburn hair, rests against a tree trunk while Geraint watches over her, his hand resting near his sword. The arched top of the canvas suggests its original purpose as a decorative panel or a work intended for a specific architectural space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHughes was known for his focus on emotional intimacy and the psychological state of his subjects. Unlike some of his contemporaries who favoured grand historical drama, Hughes often chose moments of quiet reflection. The soft light filtering through the trees creates a sense of stillness, drawing the viewer into the private world of the couple. The inclusion of the lute in the foreground adds a layer of musical symbolism, often used in Victorian art to represent harmony or the romantic nature of the scene. This print captures the fine brushwork and the specific palette that defined Hughes's contribution to the movement, offering a clear view of the technical skill he applied to his literary subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/claudio-and-isabella-william-holman-hunt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eClaudio and Isabella by William Holman Hunt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mariana-john-everett-millais\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMariana by John Everett Millais\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arthur Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146980589903,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146989404495,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146989437263,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146989470031,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146989502799,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146989535567,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146989568335,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146989601103,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146989633871,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146989666639,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146989699407,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146989732175,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146989764943,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146989797711,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146989830479,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146989863247,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146989896015,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146989928783,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146989961551,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146989994319,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Enid-and-Geraint_Poster_CompositorV1_1792123264621.jpg?v=1792290066","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/enid-and-geraint-arthur-hughes","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
