The Dreamers
Asleep, with the dream in the room
The Dreamers: art prints of sleepers and dreams, where the dream itself appears in the picture. The collection includes Henry Fuseli's The Nightmare (1781), Francisco de Goya's The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters (1799), William Blake's Queen Katherine's Dream (1825), Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Dante's Dream (1875), Henri Rousseau's The Sleeping Gypsy (1897) and The Dream (1910), and Henri Matisse's The Dream (1935).
Our selection follows how artists from the 18th to the 20th century have shown the line between sleep and vision: Goya's sleeper under his owls and bats, Utamaro's beauty with her dream drawn above her fan, Kuniyoshi's dozing lord among skeletons, and Lecomte du Nouÿ's smokers whose pipe smoke turns into a woman over the rooftops of Cairo. It also includes Gustav Klimt's The Virgin (1913) and Karl Wiener's The Dreamer (1929).
These works suit bedrooms, reading rooms and quiet corners. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
