DESCRIPTION:Jul 25 - Oct 25\, 2026\nIn 1843\, the artist Richard Dadd kille
 d his father after developing symptoms of what would now be diagnosed as s
 chizophrenia. He essentially vanished into the Victorian psychiatric syste
 m\, where he remained until his death\, in 1886. The paintings Dadd left a
 re strange\, ranging from literary and Biblical scenes to pure fantasy. In
  recent decades\, however\, Dadd has gone from a connoisseur’s curiosity
  to a consequential figure in Victorian art. The art historian Nicholas Tr
 omans\, who curated this exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art\, says the
  turning point came in 1963\, when Dadd’s best-known painting—the extr
 aordinary The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke—was donated to the Tate Gal
 lery by the poet Siegfried Sassoon. It’s a bizarre hodgepodge of intense
 ly imagined\, precisely drawn figures. Caught up in his own world\, Dadd m
 ay very well be one of the first moderns.
