I always loved the way Baum, in 1900, made Glinda, The Good Witch of the North, a witch who challenged the centuries-old “evil witch” archetype. He was a suffragist, & he made Glinda the Good a brilliant & strong protector over Oz. #FaustianFriday

My large painting ‘Odysseus on the Island of Circe’ is featured in the inaugural exhibition ‘Ulysse Voyage..’ at the newly opened HDEVAR exhibition centre in Draguignan, France. Dates etc below. Showing alongside Chagall, Ingres, Daumier, Fuseli etc 🤯
“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."
—from Mary Shelley’s #Frankenstein
Some believe The Nightmare by Henri Fuseli, who died #OTD in 1825, inspired Mary’s line above.
In Shakespeare’s day, ghosts were serious business. The religious turmoil in Elizabethan England meant that when he penned the scene, of Hamlet facing his avenging, ghostly father on the ramparts, it would be bone-chilling. 😱 #FaustianFriday

FAIRY COURTESAN Fuseli's Gothic vision of #AMidsummerNightsDream is full of menace. Titania & Bottom in his asses' head, mingle with a hooded midnight hag clutching a changeling and a fairy courtesan with her victim, an old man on a chain #GothicFairies #WyrdWednesday

Here's 'Milton Dictating to His Daughter' (1794) by Henry Fuseli
Another doodle before bed. A spoof of Fuseli’s “The Nightmare” because my cat enjoys acting as my sleep paralysis demon.

Henry Fuseli–born #OTD 1741–rarely drew the figure from life, basing his art on study of the antique & Michelangelo. He only ever painted two portraits, one being of Mary Wollstonecraft, who pursued him determinedly: "I hate clever women. They are only troublesome".
