{"product_id":"creator-of-nightmares-henry-fuseli-s-art-and-life","title":"Creator of Nightmares: Henry Fuseli’s Art and Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eHenry Fuseli’s The Nightmare helped establish a new language of terror for the Romantic age. Christopher Baker’s study looks beyond that famous painting to explore the career and contradictions of an artist whose imagination was shaped by literature, ambition and a changing art world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Fuseli from Zurich through Paris and Rome to London, the book considers the relationship between his literary and painted work, sacred and secular subjects, and the demands of patronage, public exhibitions and criticism. The account places his provocative imagery within the choices and circumstances of a working career, giving readers a fuller picture of the artist behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 74 illustrations, including 58 in colour, this 192-page hardback combines a biographical approach with close attention to Fuseli’s art. It is especially relevant to readers interested in Gothic imagery, Romanticism and the meeting of painting and literature. A focused introduction to the inventive intelligence behind some of art’s most unsettling subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:inherit;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:500;\"\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor \/ contributors: Christopher Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Reaktion Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781789149302\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery charges are shown at checkout.
