Henry Fuseli (1741-1825) was a renowned Swiss painter and draughtsman known for his dramatic and imaginative works. One of his notable paintings is "Gertrude, Hamlet and the Ghost of the Father" from 1793, where he captures the intense moment between Gertrude, Hamlet, and the ghostly figure of Hamlet's father. The oil on canvas painting showcases Fuseli's ability to convey emotion through vivid colors and dynamic composition. In 1824, Fuseli also ventured into sculpture with "Henry Fuseli, " a marble piece that portrays himself in a contemplative pose. This departure from his usual medium demonstrates his versatility as an artist. Another intriguing artwork by Fuseli is "Portrait of a Woman (Martha Hess)" created in 1781 using charcoal and black and white chalk on paper. This intimate portrait showcases his skillful rendering of facial features while capturing the essence of Martha Hess' personality. Fuseli's fascination with mythology is evident in "The Pain of Kriemhild" painted between 1817-20. This oil on canvas masterpiece depicts the anguish experienced by Kriemhild from Germanic legend Nibelungenlied after her husband's murder. "The Picture Gallery of Sir John Leicester, Bart" exemplifies Fuseli's interest in historical subjects as he recreates an imaginary gallery filled with famous artworks from different periods. One cannot overlook "Satan Starting from the Touch of Ithuriels Lance, " completed in 1779. In this captivating oil on canvas piece, Fuseli depicts Satan recoiling after being exposed by Ithuriel's lance during John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost. Fuseli also explored Shakespearean themes like in "Macbeth and the Three Witches Showing Him the Armed Head. " Using watercolor techniques, he brings to life one of Macbeth’s eerie encounters with supernatural beings.
