The Nightmare, c1790
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Henry Fuseli is a captivating and unsettling artwork that delves into the depths of human fears and anxieties. This print captures the essence of a nightmare, depicting a woman lying in bed, trapped in her own subconscious realm. The room is shrouded in darkness, with only a faint glimmer of moonlight seeping through parted curtains. The focal point of this haunting image is the demon perched upon the dreamer's chest, symbolizing suffocating anxiety and implied sexual menace. Its presence evokes an overwhelming sense of threat and vulnerability. Meanwhile, an eerie horse intrudes into the room through the same curtains, further intensifying the atmosphere of fear. Henry Fuseli masterfully portrays both physical and psychological terror in this piece. It is no wonder that Sigmund Freud himself was drawn to it; he even had an engraving hanging on his waiting room wall. "The Nightmare" explores themes such as fantasy, sexuality, and unconscious desires – all elements deeply intertwined within our dreams. As we gaze at this 18th-century masterpiece from the Goethe Museum collection in Frankfurt, Germany, we are reminded of our own nocturnal experiences – those moments when we lie awake with racing hearts or wake up drenched in sweat after encountering our worst fears while asleep. Fuseli's work serves as a timeless reminder that nightmares can manifest themselves not only during sleep but also within our waking lives – reminding us to confront our deepest fears head-on rather than allowing them to consume us entirely.
