Arthur Hacker (1858–1919) was an English painter known for his diverse body of work that encompassed various genres, including historical, genre, and allegorical paintings. He was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Hacker received his art education at the Royal Academy Schools in London, where he later became an Associate and then a full Academician. His early works reflected influences of the Victorian academic style, and he was skilled in depicting historical and literary themes.

He was known for his romantic and narrative paintings that often depicted scenes from history, mythology, and literature, portraying themes that were popular during the Victorian era. His art often incorporated elements of sentimentality and dramatic storytelling, which resonated with the tastes of the time.

Hacker also painted portraits and genre scenes, showcasing his ability to capture emotional and psychological depth in his subjects. His portraits were characterized by a sensitive portrayal of the individual's character and emotions.

One of his notable works, "The Annunciation" (1892), is an example of his skill in creating dramatic and emotionally charged scenes, drawing from religious and mythological themes.

Though Hacker's art was well received during his time, his work evolved with changing artistic tastes, embracing elements of Symbolism and more modern styles towards the end of his career.

Arthur Hacker's legacy endures for his contributions to the late Victorian and Edwardian art scenes, displaying a diverse range of subject matters and styles. His ability to evoke emotions and tell stories through his paintings remains an important aspect of his artistic reputation in the context of late 19th and early 20th-century British art.
