Update: 2025-05-30
Description
When the Zurich citizen Johann Heinrich Füssli was asked to illustrate Shakespeare’s plays around 1786, he was already a star in London, where he had been living for a long time, calling himself Henry Fuseli. Just like today, in those days people enjoyed telling crazy stories about celebrities. It was reported that Fuseli ate bloody pork before going to bed and consumed a lot of opium to conjure up his dark visions.
