Supposedly the inspiration for Charles Nodier's fantasy story Smarra, one version of it is included in Erasmus' poem The Bota
Supposedly the inspiration for Charles Nodier's fantasy story Smarra, one version of it is included in Erasmus' poem The Botanic Garden, while another currently resides in the Detroit Institute of Arts. That version includes a table on the left-hand side and more vivid colors than the first, which featured more pale blues and whites. More easily seen in the first version are the ghostly eyes of a horse looking to the left side, although the second one more prominently features the pupils of the impish figure who sits on the chest of the central female and stares eerily at the viewer. For ten points, name this John Henry Fuseli painting, which was intended to depict a really bad dream.
