''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' is a painting by the British artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), created sometime between 1841 and 1856. Dadd was known for his detailed fairy and supernatural-themed paintings, and this work is no exception, as it draws inspiration from William Shakespeare's play of the same name. The painting is a testament to Dadd's intricate and imaginative style, which he developed further during his confinement in psychiatric hospitals after being diagnosed with a form of psychosis and committing patricide in a delusional state.

The artwork depicts a scene from Shakespeare's comedy, capturing the magical and ethereal atmosphere of the play. It is populated with a host of characters from the play, including fairies, nymphs, and other mythical creatures, set in an enchanted forest. The painting is characterized by its fine detail, vivid colors, and the dreamlike quality that Dadd was able to infuse into his work, despite—or perhaps because of—his mental health struggles.

Dadd began the painting while incarcerated at Bethlem Royal Hospital, also known as Bedlam, and completed it at Broadmoor Hospital, where he was transferred after Bethlem. The creation of the painting spanned many years, reflecting Dadd's meticulous approach to his art and his fascination with the supernatural. ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' is considered one of Dadd's masterpieces and is a significant work within the canon of Victorian fairy painting, a genre that was popular in the 19th century among artists and the Victorian public.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its exact dimensions and current whereabouts are not widely publicized. As a work of art, ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' by Richard Dadd is an important piece that offers insight into the mind of an artist who produced extraordinary works under extraordinary personal circumstances. It remains a compelling example of the intersection between art, literature, and mental health in the Victorian era.
