７、亚瑟•休斯（Arthur Hughes 1832-1915)
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。
Sir Galahad 加拉哈德
加拉哈德骑士是亚瑟王传奇中的人物，他被称为圣洁骑士，画面描写他寻找圣杯之旅，配有以下的诗：
'The clouds are broken in the sky,
And thro' the mountain-walls,
A rolling organ-harmony
Swells up, and shakes and falls,
Then move the trees, the copses nod,
Wings flutter, voices hover clear:
Oh just and faithful knight of God!
Ride on: the prize is near.
So pass I hostel, hall, and grange;
By bridge and ford, by park and pale,
All-arm'd I ride, whate'er betide,
Until I find the holy Grail'.
....
A gentle sound, an awful sight!
Three angels bear the holy grail:
With folded feet, in stoles of white,
On sleeping wings they sail.'
