完整生平1778–1825 · 工作地
Great Britain
early 1779
Returns to London by way of Zürich
In early 1779 Fuseli returned to Britain, visiting Zürich on the way; in London, where he was already famous, a commission awaited him from the print publisher John Boydell for the Shakespeare Gallery he was then creating, and Fuseli painted several pictures for it. In London he also published the English translation of Lavater's work on physiognomy and helped the poet William Cowper with his translation of Homer.
1782
“The Nightmare” is exhibited
Fuseli's earliest painting was “Joseph Interpreting the Dreams of the Baker and Butler”, but the first to excite particular attention was “The Nightmare”, exhibited in 1782. He painted several versions of it.
