Seiten
From the bestselling author of The Fantastic Gustave Doré.
Featuring 300 exquisite paintings and engravings that reveal the mysterious beauty of 19th-century Dark Romanticism, Symbolism, and Pre-Raphaelitism this lavish volume highlights the era's fascination with the spiritual, the macabre, and the sublime.
Supernatural invites readers to experience the otherworldly imagination of celebrated and lesser-known artists who sought to capture the liminal spaces between reality and fantasy. Divided into seven thematic chapters-Luna (moon), Carmina (charms), Maleficia (witchcraft), Genii (fairies), Phantasmata (ghosts), Angeli (angels), and Daemones (demons)-it pairs breathtaking artwork with insightful commentary that illuminates the themes, symbols, and esoteric traditions woven into these haunting works.

The sumptuous package includes gold-embossed cover and spine, decorative belly band, and sprayed edges inscribed with the title. Ideal for art lovers, mystics, and anyone captivated by the uncanny, it offers an unprecedented journey into the sublime visions of the 19th century.
