Fantasy sight: Fuseli
Henry Fuseli, also known as Johann Heinrich Füssli, is often mistaken for a British artist because he spent so much time in Britain - but in truth he was one of the most famous Swiss painters of the late 18th-early 19th century. Most people today only know him for his most famous and celebrated pieces, "The Nightmare":
But it wasn't his only take on superstitions and legends surrounding night demons and bad-dream spirits. For example, he also did this folkloric piece called "Night-hag visiting the Lapland Witches":
Fuseli also did a LOT of Shakespearian pieces. He did a "Titania and Bottom"...
An "Ariel"...
A "Puck, or Robin Goodfellow"
A "Macbeth consulting the visions of the armed head"
Of course, there is also his VERY famous "Three Witches"
Beyond Shakespearian pieces, Fuseli also did all sorts of paintings covering "classical" themes.
From the Odyssey he made an "Odysseus in front of Scylla and Charybdis"(correction, couldn't find a picture that fits, so have instead a "Tiresias appearing to Odysseus / Tiresias predicting the future")
From The Faerie Queene he did a "Britomart delivering Amoretta from the enchantment of Busirane"
And, more surprisingly, from Norse mythology, he did a very famous "Thor battering the Midgard Serpent"
