If there’s a word for the sensation of recognising something from a dream, I’m sure I don’t know it. But the proliferation of Henry Fuseli’s work means we all know the feeling.
Tonight, light a candle for Henry Fuseli, whose painting The Nightmare has influenced 250 years of Gothic imagery. See his dark and obscure interpretations of some of English literature’s greatest characters. Uncover the lies that inspired some of his finest and most Gothic work. And wonder, much like Fuseli’s own tormented dreamer, where you’ve seen all this before.
