Drawings — Maurice Sendak: Artist, Collector, Connoisseur Online
Henry Fuseli (German: Johann Heinrich Füssli) was a Swiss painter, draughtsman and writer on art who spent much of his life in Britain. Many of his works, such as The Nightmare, deal with supernatural subject matter. He painted works for John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, and created his own "Milton Gallery". He held the posts of Professor of Painting and Keeper at the Royal Academy. His style had a considerable influence on many younger British artists, including William Blake.
Samuel Palmer was a 19th-century English painter. He is known as a representative of Romanticism. Samuel Palmer was a master of the landscape genre, and most of his paintings were in watercolor.
Samuel Palmer, though not academically trained, was also a good illustrator and printmaker. He had serious financial problems all his life, causing him to combine a professional career as an artist with a job as an art teacher for nearly 20 years. Only towards the end of his life was Palmer able to devote himself fully to art.
The best masterpieces of the artist's work today are kept in British museums.
