Fairy painting
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
A genre of painting began with Victorian fairy painters such as Richard Dadd, and John Anster Fitzgerald and fairy tale illustrators like Arthur Rackham who illustrated scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest by Shakespeare, as well as their own fantasies of the miniature faery world. The genre which later popularized in the 1970s by illustrators Brian Froud and Alan Lee with their book Faeries and movies like The Dark Crystal and continues to the present day revival in fairy art.
