"The author describes and illustrates a tradition of nineteenth-century painting which he writes was 'a deep current running right through the century that had its source in the strange the imaginary and the fantastic. Often governed by that queen of all the faculties the imagination this 'alternative' tradition drew its eloquence from the individual's power of expression whether in silence or in a cry in dream or in waking clarity Goya with his extravagances was a contemporary of Louis David; the visionary Blake was a contemporary of Canova and his marbles.' The recurrent themes- nature and its horizons the individual and his depths sleep and its empire the elsewhere or the beyond woman and her faces light and shade- are traced from Goya Blake and Fuseli through many less obvious figures in the world of nineteenth-century art to Whistler to Munch to Klimt." -Jacket.
