Fairy-Feller's
Master-Stroke is a painting of only 54cm by 39.4cm, and one
of England's master works of art. Dadd referred to the painting
as 'quasi', because in his estimation, it was unfinished, though
he spent nine years painting it. There is no possible way that
Fairy-Feller can be properly reproduced in any medium. It is
literally three dimensional, so thick are the layers of paint
that Dadd painstakingly applied. Using a magnifying glass,
Dadd worked in minute, obsessive detail, even the original
painting, which is in London, a part of the Tate Gallery collection,
needs to be displayed with 'raking light' in order to be properly
appreciated. |
