Johann Heinrich Füssli, commonly known as Henry Fuseli, was a Swiss painter and draughtsman who lived from 1741 to 1825. He is best remembered for his imaginative and often macabre works that explored themes of the supernatural, mythology, literature, and human psychology. One of his notable paintings is "Gertrude, Hamlet and the Ghost of the Father" created in 1793. This oil on canvas masterpiece depicts a pivotal scene from Shakespeare's play "Hamlet, " where Gertrude confronts her son Hamlet alongside the ghostly figure of his deceased father. The intense emotions captured by Fuseli make this painting an iconic representation of this tragic tale. In addition to painting, Fuseli also worked with other mediums such as marble. One example is his sculpture titled "Henry Fuseli, " completed in 1824. This piece showcases his skill in capturing intricate details through stone carving. Fuseli's interest in literary subjects can be seen throughout his body of work. For instance, he depicted scenes from William Shakespeare's plays like "The Weird Sisters" (1785) from Macbeth or the dispute between Hotspur, Glendower, Mortimer, and Worcester (1784), inspired by Henry IV Part I. Furthermore, he drew inspiration from John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost for pieces like "Sin Pursued by Death" (1804). Collaborating with Moses Haughton and Frederick Christian Lewis on this project allowed him to bring Milton's words to life visually. Fuseli also delved into mythology with works such as "The Night-Hag Visiting Lapland Witches" (1796). This eerie composition portrays witches engaged in dark rituals under the watchful eye of a menacing night-hag. His fascination with fantasy extended beyond literature.
