Throughout his lifetime the name Henry Fuseli (1741?1825) was constantly invoked as the epitome of untramelled genius and originality. In our own day he is recognised not only as a seminal figure in the rise of Romanticism but as a great artist and master illustrator in his own right. The current interest in the work of Fuseli is rivalled only by the phenomenal popularity of William Blake, a near contemporary.
