#OnThisDay in 1843 the promising young artist Richard Dadd murdered his own father. He spent 42 years in Bethlem & Broadmoor, continuing to paint until his death in 1886. We hold 28 pieces of Dadd's artwork in our collection which you can see here https://t.co/4q4JX2hNEI

These works from our collection are anonymous, we know the little girl in the story only as "The Little Traveller". The paintings evoke a sense of loneliness, hope & the unknown.

Just 4 days left of our exhibition 'The Passions of Richard Dadd Revisited'. Dadd’s sketches on the passions, completed while in Bethlem in the 1850s, provides comment on the human condition that is insightful, empathetic & cryptic, all at the same time. https://t.co/D0tLqXZvDN

The fictional subject of his painting "Agony" was one Dadd could identify with. Not the agony of being chained (chains were banished from Bethlem by the 1850s) but (in Patricia Allderidge's words) from “his own tormented...mind”

A striking monochrome palette intensifies the feeling of Richard Dadd's 1854 painting "Grief or Sorrow". In all of Dadd’s paintings on the Passions this is the only piece without colour.

A biblical scene is chosen by Dadd to illustrate the passion of “Murder” in his 1854 watercolour. In this scene of destruction of life, that immediately follows the story of the Garden of Eden, Cain murders his brother Abel.
