Creator of Nightmares

- Henry Fuseli's Art and Life

Om Creator of Nightmares

A critical biography of the eighteenth-century painter. Henry Fuseli (1741-1825) was one of the eighteenth century's most provocative and inventive artists. He is best known for his painting The Nightmare, which channeled a new form of gothic imagery for the Romantic age. This engaging study of the artist's career unveils Fuseli's complexities, navigating contradictions between literary and painted works, sacred and secular themes, and traditional patronage versus competitive exhibitions. Plotting Fuseli's trajectory from Zurich to Paris, Rome, and ultimately London, Creator of Nightmares paints an image of Fuseli as an astute marketer and self-proclaimed genius who transformed himself from a priest to an Enlightenment writer, a mercurial force in the art world, and finally a revered teacher.
