"Contradiction: Oberon and Titania" is a painting by the British artist Richard Dadd, created in the mid-19th century during a period when the artist was incarcerated in the Bethlem Royal Hospital, also known as Bedlam. Dadd was a Victorian-era painter known for his detailed and whimsical fairy and supernatural-themed paintings, and this work is a prime example of his fascination with such subjects.

The painting depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," showcasing the fairy king Oberon and his queen Titania in a moment of discord, reflecting the play's themes of love, enchantment, and the capricious nature of relationships. Dadd's interpretation is noted for its intricate detail, vivid color palette, and the ethereal quality of the figures, which are hallmarks of his unique style.

Richard Dadd created this work during a time when he was suffering from a form of psychosis, after he had been committed for the murder of his father, whom he believed to be the devil in disguise. Despite his mental health struggles, Dadd continued to paint, and "Contradiction: Oberon and Titania" is considered one of his masterpieces, demonstrating his undiminished artistic skill and imaginative vision.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the psychological state of the artist and the therapeutic role that painting played in his life during his long confinement. "Contradiction: Oberon and Titania" remains an important work in the study of art from the Victorian era and is particularly noted for its contribution to the understanding of the intersection between mental health and creativity.
