Biografi:

Henry Fuseli was a very interesting artist of the 18th century. He was born in Switzerland and began as a Protestant minister. The love of theology, literature and philosophy he garnered while a minister was something that never left him and eventually would heavily influence his art. Once Fuseli began painting he saw instant success. One of these first paintings was accepted into the Royal Art Exhibition of 1781, resulting in an immediate renown.
