Frederic Edwin Church was born #OTD 1826. My obsession with The Terror is still in full bloom, so here are some more paintings of the Arctic:

Icebergs and Wreck in Sunset

Romantic painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky died #OTD 1900. I’ve always found his use of the color green rather brilliant.

The Darial Gorge in the Moonlight
Lord Byron's visit to San Lazzaro degli Armeni
The Tower

@ab_tully Truly brilliant – such an incredible collection of work. And I adore his Pesta illustrations. They are usually my go-to images for Kittelsen and all things related to the Black Death and plague. Here’s one in color that I love:

Frederick Sandys was born #OTD 1829. The first image is a study for the skeleton that he used in his wood engraving “Until Her Death”.

Until Her Death
Rosamund, Queen of the Lombards
Yet Once More on the Organ Play

I’m not much of a TV-watcher these days, but anyone else loving @AMC_TV's "The Terror"? The series has finally broken my seemingly inveterate writer’s block that has plagued me these last 6 months. Here are some paintings inspired by the expedition:

Henry Fuseli d. #OTD 1825. Many believe (myself included) “The Nightmare” inspired a scene in Mary Shelley’s #Frankenstein

“She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed, her head hanging down, and her pale and distorted features half covered by her hair."
#Gothic

@CW_Stagg Same! Another sea-related image of his that I love is this beauty.

Alfred Kubin was born #OTD 1877. Besides his own dark art, he also illustrated dark Romantic writers such as ETA Hoffmann and Edgar Allan Poe.

Death as a Horseman
Dream Animal
Mythical Animal
Sea Ghost

Udo J. Keppler was born #OTD 1872. The first chromolithograph shows the spectres of alcoholism, gambling, prostitution, opium dens, crime, and even Death materializing from the tenement building.

Albert Pinkham Ryder died #OTD 1917. Sadly, because of his layering paint upon varnish, much of his work is unstable & cracking—some have disintegrated.

Death on a Pale Horse
The Flying Dutchman
Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens
