About the exhibition
Richard Dadd (1817–1886) created some of the most distinctive works in British art, drawing on literature, folklore and memory to imagine richly detailed fantastical worlds. Best known for his fairy paintings, Dadd produced many of his most celebrated works while a patient in Victorian psychiatric hospitals following a mental health crisis.
