"Tom O'Shanter happening upon 'warlocks and witches in a dance'" is a painting by the 19th-century British artist Richard Dadd, known for his detailed and whimsical works often depicting fairy-folk or scenes from literature. This particular painting illustrates a moment from the poem "Tam o' Shanter" by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. The poem tells the story of Tam, a farmer who, after a night of drinking, witnesses a coven of witches and warlocks dancing in an abandoned church, accompanied by the Devil himself playing the bagpipes.

Dadd's painting captures the climactic scene with his characteristic attention to fine detail and vibrant color. The artwork is imbued with a sense of the supernatural and the macabre, reflecting the artist's fascination with the otherworldly and his own troubled psyche. Dadd created the piece during his long confinement in psychiatric hospitals after he was declared insane following the murder of his father.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of Dadd's mental state and the Victorian era's attitudes towards madness and the supernatural. It stands as a testament to Dadd's ability to create captivating visual narratives and his enduring influence on the genre of fairy painting and Victorian art. The work is housed in a collection that showcases the breadth of Dadd's talent and the darkly imaginative themes that pervade his oeuvre.
