The curator on the painter who killed his father and worked forty years in asylums.
Lecture / talkHistoryArt & design
Richard Dadd stabbed his father to death in 1843, convinced he was the Devil, and spent the rest of his life in Bethlem and Broadmoor, where he painted the minutely detailed fairy pictures he is known for. The exhibition's curator takes an hour on how the work was made and how it has been read since.
