Introduction Artist Henry Fuseli was born in Zürich, Switzerland on February 7, 1741. Following his father’s wishes, Fuseli planned to devote his life to the church until he met Sir Joshua Reynolds, who encouraged Fuseli to pursue a professional career in art. After spending nearly a decade in Italy studying, he moved to London, England in 1779 where he would spend the rest of his life. It was here that he was quickly accepted into an intellectual group of liberal writers and artists, including Mary Wollstonecraft. Their goal was to change the subjects of art and literature from those of war to those pertaining to the human mind. It was at this point in his life that Fuseli painted The Nightmare. With the exception of a few minor pitfalls, Fuseli continued with his artistic career successfully until his death in April of 1825.
Descriptive Analysis This particular version of The Nightmare—the first of several—is an oil painting on canvas by Henry Fuseli. Painted in the Gothic/Romantic style, it depicts a young woman in the anguish of a bad dream. Fuseli created at least three other versions illustrating the same dark theme, however this has come to be the most well-known. The size of this piece is fairly large, standing three-and-a-half feet tall and just over four feet wide. The color palette consists mostly of dark colors—black, deep grays, shades of brown, and blood red—with the exception of the young woman and the bed which she is laying upon, which are made up of more heavenly whites and gold tones. Fuseli ’s chiaroscuro style in addition to the centralized contrast between light and dark give the scene an eerie glow. Dripping with scandalous sexuality and cloaked in mystery, The Nightmare is undoubtedly Swiss artist Henry Fuseli ’s most famous—and most controversial—painting.
