And I needed to think that there was something else, watching too, you know? Some higher power. Some greater good. And that maybe...maybe I could be saved.

Fantasy sights: Paton

Next on our list, the Scottish 19th century painter Joseph Noel Paton.

He became very famous for his set of paintings illustrating Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.

The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania...

The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania...

Oberon and the Mermaid...

Puck and Fairies...

(I am really sad that for the first two I cannot include a full-size version of the paintings, because the amount of little details in these pieces is WONDERFUL if you can ever check it up close, don't hesitate)

Paton is often included among the Pre-Raphaelites, given his style is very similar to theirs, though he actually declined and refused to be part of their brotherhood. But their common interested for the Arthurian legends shows up in a few of his pieces, such as:

... Sir Galahad

... How an angel rowed sir Galahad across the Dern Mere

... Sir Galahad and the Angel

Other fantasy pieces of Paton include his "The Fairy Raid : Carrying Off a Changeling - Midsummer Eve"

"Oskold and the Elf-maids"

And "Cymocles Discovered by Atis in the Bowre of Bliss" (from Spencer's Faerie Queene, Book II, chapter V"
