The “Milton Gallery”: 47 paintings
Fuseli exhibited 47 paintings on subjects from Milton, many of them very large and completed at intervals over nine years, hoping to form a Milton gallery comparable to Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery. The exhibition proved a commercial failure and closed in 1800.

Fuseli's principal written work was a series of twelve lectures delivered at the Royal Academy, begun in 1801. He wrote French, Italian, English and German with equal facility, though he preferred German as the vehicle of his thoughts.
