Standing and Seated Figures 1565-1608 Francesco Curia Italian Francesco Curia can be rightly considered the most relevant artist active in Southern Italy during the Sixteenth century. The present sheet is one of eight pen sketches (Metropolitan Museum of Art, inv. nos.1970.101.4-11) figured in an album containing "97 pezzi di Francesco Curia" (97 pieces by Francesco Curia:) once in the collection of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger (1654-1728), and then inherited by his son Carl Gustav Tessin (1695-1770), the greatest Swedish collector of drawings of the Eighteenth century. It seems to have been broken up in the latter's lifetime. Eighty-two of these sheets are now in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm; those in the Metropolitan Museum came to New York by way of a Swedish collector who acquired them from a collateral descendant of Tessin. In their studies, Per Bjurström and Walter Vitzthum have pointed out the importance of this group of drawings, which forms a touchstone for our knowledge of

Triumph of Death Three Skeletons Invading a Bacchanal Orchestrated by a Magician or an Evil Demon 1770-1771 England. Fuseli often dwelled on the macabre and the sensational, as in this drawing, and occasionally allowed his unconscious mind to dictate his subject matter. ìFor if these images so pursue us when our minds are in a kind of waking dream,î he wrote, ìwhy should we not use this vice of the mind îFuseliís art played a role in his ageís taste for the Gothic. It was an era that saw the emergence of distinctly modern forms of cultural consumption romances, sentimental novels and, most important, Gothic novels and plays focusing on themes of terror and the supernatural. As Fuseliís student Benjamin Haydon wrote, ìAmongst all classes Fuseli was considered a painter of horrors.î.
