The story of The Night-Hag Visiting Lapland Witches
Painted in 1796 and based on a passage from Milton's Paradise Lost, this is one of Henry Fuseli's most theatrical Gothic compositions — the night-hag descending on broomstick into a wild Lappish landscape where naked witches conjure horrors by firelight. Fuseli (Swiss-born, London-based, friend of William Blake) was the master of Romantic-era horror painting; the canvas is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has become a touchstone of the dark-Romantic tradition.
