"The Attack of the Spider" is a painting by the British artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), known for his detailed and whimsical works often depicting fairy-folk and other supernatural subjects. Dadd created this artwork during a period of his life when he was confined to psychiatric hospitals after being declared insane and committing patricide in a state of psychotic delusion.

Completed in the mid-19th century, "The Attack of the Spider" exemplifies Dadd's meticulous style and his fascination with the fantastical. The painting portrays a dramatic scene in which a monstrous spider threatens a group of diminutive fairy-like creatures. The work is rich in detail and color, characteristic of Dadd's technique, which involved the use of fine brushes and a layering of pigment to achieve a luminous effect.

The painting reflects Dadd's interest in the supernatural and the macabre, themes that were popular in the Victorian era. It also provides insight into the artist's troubled mind, as his works often served as an outlet for his hallucinations and delusions. "The Attack of the Spider" is considered an important piece in Dadd's oeuvre, showcasing his unique blend of precision and imagination.

Richard Dadd's legacy as an artist is marked by his ability to create captivating and intricate scenes despite his mental health struggles. "The Attack of the Spider," like many of his paintings, remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who are drawn to the intersection of art and psychology. The painting is also a testament to the Victorian fascination with the otherworldly and the capacity of art to transcend the boundaries of the artist's own reality.
