The Fuseli Connection
|
Destroyed masterpieces. Budding artists. AI.
In a world where art can be both priceless and perilous, Dr Genevieve Lenard and her unorthodox team are thrust into a high-stakes investigation when three valuable paintings spontaneously ignite at one of the world's most esteemed museums. As the flames flicker out, a chilling wave of threats cascades across other cultural institutions, hinting at a cunning arsonist with a sinister plan to obliterate humanity's artistic heritage. With the pressure mounting, Genevieve must decode cryptic messages and look for connections in every tiny detail. Racing against the clock, the team grapples with an elusive enemy whose motivations remain shrouded in mystery. Genevieve and her team have to use all the tools at their disposal to uncover the truth and thwart the next attack before it's too late—before the world is left to mourn its irreplaceable masterpieces and before someone gets hurt. Or worse. |

Henry Fuseli:
Henry Fuseli - Fuseli was born in Zurich on 6 February 1741. Though ordained as a Zwinglian minister in 1761, he pursued humanist studies, mastering multiple languages and drawing inspiration from Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton. Forced to leave Zurich in 1763 after criticising the administration, he traveled through Europe, embarking on a literary career.
Encouraged by Reynolds in 1768 to take up painting, Fuseli studied in Italy, influenced by Michelangelo and mannerist art. Returning to London in 1780, he gained fame with The Nightmare and contributed extensively to Boydell’s Shakespeare Gallery. In the 1790s, he created 47 paintings for his Milton Gallery, though the exhibitions failed publicly.
Elected to the Royal Academy in 1788, Fuseli became Professor of Painting in 1799 and Keeper in 1804. His personal life was marked by an intense love for Anna Landolt and marriage to Sophia Rawlins in 1788. He died on 16 April 1825 and was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral.
