Reseña del editor:

The golden age of fairy painting lasted between 1840-1870, when fairies found expression in most of the Victorian arts - paintings, illustration, literature, theater, ballet, and music. The genre had a strong literary background, from the books of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen to Shakespeare's The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream. These works, along with the Victorian obsession with spiritualism and the supernatural, created an atmosphere in which Fairy painting flourished.The work of the great fairy painters is examined - Dadd, Paton, Fitzgerald, and Richard Doyle - along with that of other Victorian painters like Landseer, Fuseli, Millais, Rossetti, and Rackham.
