Description

This engraving depicts Henry Fuseli (1741-1825), the Swiss-born English Romantic painter who was one of the most influential figures of English Romanticism. Drawing on literary sources, Fuseli redefined late-18th-century English history painting through his dramatic compositions, psychological depth, and imagination-driven narratives. A member of the Royal Academy, he also played a significant role in the field of art education. This portrait reflects the artist’s intellectual authority and his distinctive expressive power.
