"The Nightmare" is a renowned oil painting by Swiss artist Johann Heinrich Füssli, also known as Henry Fuseli, created in 1781. This iconic work of art has captivated audiences and critics alike with its haunting depiction of the supernatural and the subconscious. The painting portrays a sleeping woman draped across a bed in a limp, vulnerable position, with a demonic incubus crouched ominously on her chest, symbolizing the oppressive weight of nightmares. In the background, a ghostly horse with wild eyes, the "night mare" of the title, peers through a curtain, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Fuseli's masterpiece is often interpreted as an exploration of the darker realms of the human psyche, delving into themes of terror, the erotic, and the irrational. The painting's composition, with its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its provocative subject matter, exemplifies the Gothic sensibility that was becoming increasingly popular at the time. "The Nightmare" not only reflects the aesthetic of the Romantic period, in which emotion and imagination were highly valued, but it also prefigures the Symbolist movement with its emphasis on dream imagery and the macabre.

Since its first exhibition at the Royal Academy of London in 1782, "The Nightmare" has had a significant impact on both the art world and popular culture, inspiring various interpretations and adaptations. It has been analyzed in the context of Fuseli's own life experiences, psychological theories of the time, and as a commentary on the societal roles and perceptions of women. The painting remains one of Fuseli's most famous works and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, holding a prominent place in the canon of European art history.
