Henry Fuseli

By: Sienna Latham

Description:

Fuseli, a Swiss-born British draughtsman and painter, turned from theology to art with a pilgrimage to Italy in 1770. His works explore the mythological, the supernatural and the classical. I think the ink and wash pieces are the real stars here, with their delicate intensity and unexpectedly modern composition.

Subjects: romanticism, mythology, milton, shakespeare, magic, allegory
