The Nightmare', c1790. The feeling of suffocating anxiety experienced in a nightmare is represented by the demon, sitting on the dreamer's chest with implied sexual menace, while the terrifying image of the horse intrudes into the room through parted curtains. This is Fuseli's second work on the theme. Freud is supposed to have had an engraving of the image on the wall of his waiting room. From the collection of the Goethe Museum, Frankfurt, Germany. Artist: Henry Fuseli. | |
