Henry Fuseli, Titania, Bottom and the Fairies, 1793-1794, Kunsthaus Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.
Do you know Shakespeare’s plays well? Then you probably won’t have a problem with recognizing them in these paintings. The paintings are quite dark and sometimes even gloomy. The painter chose dramatic moments from his fellow creator’s works and interpreted poetic narrative through painting. Shakespearean drama is reinforced for us, visually, by the mysterious atmosphere and disquieting style of the Romanticist painter, Henry Fuseli.
