Richard Dadd: Beyond Bedlam at the Royal Academy to October 25 highlights the talents of the visionary artist whose legacy is complicated by his personal history. The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke (1855-64) - inspired Freddie Mercury to write a song of the same name for Queen II in 1974 #RichardDadd

Here's the Netherlands version for THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR, which cleverly mixes the #RichardDadd detail of #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke with the garden landscape belonging to the modern-day central #character.

Following on my post about #RichardDadd the #Victorian painter, here's the French cover fro my novel THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR. Like the USA version, it also features a detail from Dadd's painting #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke, which took him nine years to paint.

The cover of my book THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR. Seems appropriate while the #RichardDadd exhibition is on. Dadd was committed to #Bedlam and #Broadmoor for the murder of his father. #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke (which took him 9 years to paint) was produced there.

Yesterday we popped into the #RoyalAcademy to see the excellent #RichardDadd exhibition. Brilliant painter with a tragic life. Famous for painting fairies- the scale and detail was amazing

The very real fraughtness of that position - cf ‘Down Below’ - is hinted at, if perhaps not its full ghastliness, as in the murderous mania which overtook #RichardDadd.
I’ve been peering cautiously at his work again since seeing the Royal Academy show: it’s still uniquely & terrifyingly outside.

Renowned for his detailed and fanciful creations, Dadd frequently portrayed scenes from folklore, mythology, and his own brilliant imagination; hence, he became a major player in the Victorian obsession with fairy art. #fairy #richarddadd fairyland.blog/post/7821647...

Been well over a week since I did a crime story so here's a new one for you.
I am focusing on historical murders. This one is a Victorian era murder.
