A new exhibition of the work of Henry Fuseli, who was drawn to the monstrous and extreme, features unsettling images of his wife, Sophia.
The eighteenth-century Swiss artist Henry Fuseli was known for his grotesque and outlandish depictions of mythological and supernatural subjects. His most celebrated painting, “The Nightmare,” which was exhibited to considerable excitement at the Royal Academy’s gallery in 1782, shows an unconscious woman draped across a couch with her head drooping almost to the floor, a demonic incubus squatting on her chest, and a sightless horse baring its teeth in the background.
The keeper’s former quarters at Somerset House now form part of the Courtauld Gallery, which is hosting an exhibition of Fuseli’s drawings, “Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism.” It centers upon drawings and pen-and-ink sketches, many of them of the artist’s wife, Sophia , whom he married in 1788.
