Description

Print of The Nightmare, 1781, by Henry Fuseli.

The oil on panel work is in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts.

This work, which shows a woman in deep sleep with her arms thrown below her, and with a demonic and apelike incubus crouched on her chest. The painting's dreamlike and haunting erotic evocation of infatuation and obsession was a huge popular success. After its first exhibition, at the 1782 Royal Academy of London, critics and patrons reacted with horrified fascination and the work became widely popular, to the extent that it was parodied in political satire and an engraved version was widely distributed. In response, Fuseli produced at least three other versions.

Printed with archival-quality pigment inks on high-resolution, large-format twelve-color printers, the substrate is an acid-free and lignin-free 230gsm coated fine art paper. The bright white base color and smooth matte finish allows for the highest quality reproduction possible.

The image size is 9.25 x 7.5 inches on an 11 x 14 white ground, allowing it to fit into our standard 11 x 14 inch frame.
