The Artist Moved by the Grandeur of Antique Fragments
ID de tableau:: 62501new21/Johann Heinrich Fuseli-685758.jpg
1778-79 Red chalk on sepia wash, 415 x 355 mm Kunsthaus, Z?rich The young Henry Fuseli, in the late 1770s, portrayed himself reduced to despair before the vastness of Rome's remains. Since he had spent eight years studying in the city, his awe was doubtless exaggerated, but it was also a premonition of the powerful emotions that were to be released in his art.
