The bird's nest picture attracted me, so I went and found out more as I hadn't heard of Richard Dadd before Ametrine

Cant say I've ever heard of him either,so thanks for sharing,that baby on the toadstool its facial looks very evil looking though aye..oh he did some very weird paintings kinda like a weird alternative Alice in wonderland,.. looking on google search..and that video..

then some really nice pictures..makes one wonder did he bite off more than he could chew,go insane or down a rabbit hole and get lost.. cos his overseas water colour pictures are amazing.

same thought, sounded like he painted while he was in Bedlam and then later in Broadmoor hospital.  There was another artist I'd heard about used to paint cats, his work varied greatly from cool to psychedelic cats... Louis Wain his name was

Sad,he lost his mind in mental illness...but I so prefer his other pieces set in Bedouin times in the orient & Damascus myself..the fairy chaos one dosnt even drawn me in..

Yes they're very well painted even though the guy on the video thought they were flat, and he imagined that that was because Richard painted from memory of his time abroad

He thought they were flat!,right... well one needs to zoom into these pictures to see the finer details and yet these images dont do them any justice sadly,..but the dude on the video dosnt know art,let alone a good artist when he sees one,they are awesome water colours fine brush strokes and amazing colour for the time frame they were done in,.
