EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Titania caressing Bottom, with his donkey's head" we are transported into the mystical realm of folklore and literature. Created by Johann Heinrich Füssli in 1793-1794, this fine art piece can be found in the esteemed Collection of Kunsthaus Zürich. The image beautifully captures an allegorical scene from Shakespeare's renowned play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania, the queen of fairies, delicately caresses Bottom, a human transformed into a donkey-headed creature by mischievous Puck. The dreamlike atmosphere created by Füssli draws us into a world where mythical creatures like elves and Robin Goodfellow roam freely. Füssli's masterful use of oil on canvas brings to life the enchanting details of Germanic mythology and Norse sagas. This painting is steeped in pagan symbolism and evokes a sense of both mystery and romance that was characteristic of the Victorian era. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of ancient Viking tales passed down through generations. It transports us back to a time when dreams held great significance and traditional beliefs intertwined with everyday life. This print serves as a visual testament to Füssli's talent as well as his deep understanding and appreciation for literary works such as Shakespeare's plays. It invites us to immerse ourselves in its magical narrative while also paying homage to centuries-old traditions that continue to captivate our imagination today.
