Join Woman’s Board Fellow Alice Boone in exploring Henry Fuseli’s drawings of scenes from great works of literature and mythology. Some works, like Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene or Dante Aligheri’s Inferno, are canonical, while others are more obscure; however well know the source material, Fuseli seized emotionally fraught moments from these literary works, both translating and reimagining them into striking images.
