He is best known for his painting The Nightmare, which created a new form of terrifying gothic imagery for the Romantic age. This engaging study of the artist\u0026amp;#x27;s career unveils Fuseli\u0026amp;#x27;s complexities, navigating contradictions between literary and painted works, sacred and secular themes, and traditional patronage versus the new era of competitive exhibitions and intense criticism. Plotting Fuseli\u0026amp;#x27;s trajectory from Zurich to Paris, Rome and ultimately London, where he secured long-lasting fame, the artist is revealed as an astute publicity seeker and self-proclaimed genius who transformed himself from a priest to an Enlightenment writer, a \u0026amp;#x27;mad\u0026amp;#x27; mercurial force in the art world, and finally a revered teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857103048862,"sku":"ADS-9781789149302","price":59.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781789149302.jpg?v=1779154386","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781789149302","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
