The Nightmare | Henry Fuseli | 1781

The Nightmare by Henry Fuseli, created circa 1781, is a haunting and iconic painting that depicts a woman in a white gown lying unconscious on a bed, her body dramatically draped with one arm hanging off the edge. A sinister incubus crouches menacingly on her chest, symbolizing a dark and oppressive force. In the background, a ghostly, wide-eyed horse emerges from the shadows, heightening the eerie and surreal atmosphere. The painting, with its dramatic contrasts of light and shadow and its psychological intensity, explores themes of fear, the supernatural, and the subconscious, making it a quintessential work of Romanticism.
